APPLETON - Outagamie County s North Dog Park will permanently close at sunset on March 21 due to the county expanding the northwest landfill.
The park, on landfill property, must be 1,000 feet away from landfill activities per Department of Natural Resources regulations. The South and Small Dog Parks are outside of the buffer zone of the landfill and will stay open for the time being. The landfill expansion is currently underway.
Outagamie County Parks hopes to find a new space for the Outagamie Dog Park and begin its development within the next two years. When the department finds and finishes the new dog park, it will replace the current one at 2830 French Road.
