The Biloxi Dog Park on Popp’s Ferry Road will soon see some fun and functional amenities.
Recently, the Biloxi City Council approved a bid from Magnolia Recreation for the purchase and installation of several much-needed equipment items at the popular Biloxi dog park.
The $22,257 project will include hoops, steppers, a dog walk ramp, two dog fire hydrants, two dog resting tables, a jump over, a water fountain, and three waste stations.
“This is one of the most used parks in the city,” said Sherry Bell, Biloxi Parks & Recreation Director. “We have heard the wants of the people who are using the park and are excited to provide these fun and useful amenities for the continued use and health of the four-legged visitors.”
Work will take place this summer and is expected to be completed within a week. The park will be closed during the installation. Notices will be posted on the Biloxi Dog Park Facebook page and other city social media sites.
The Biloxi Dog Park is one of three the city currently has. In addition to the large park off Popp’s Ferry Road, the city has two smaller dog parks. One is at Hiller Park off Pass Road, and the other one is at Savarro Park off Irish Hill.
Each park is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and is overseen by the Biloxi Parks & Recreation Department.
