WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â A first look at a new dog park location has members excited for the future.
Monday evening following their regular monthly meeting a small group of Parks and Recreation Committee members visited a site that could become Wausauâs second dog park. The site is located off of 28th Ave. and is currently owned by the Wisconsin DOT as the state agency removed the old Menards building on the site for a highway project in the mid-2000s.
