LOGAN SQUARE — The Logan Square Dog Park moved one step closer to construction after a building permit was issued this month for the site.
A city permit was issued Sept. 11 laying the groundwork to “build a new structure from the ground up” at an estimated cost of $50,000.
Additional funds raised by the Logan Square Dog Park Committee will go toward paving the land, installing permanent fencing, benches, a two-gated entry, gravel pits, a drainage system and other Park District requirements for dog-friendly areas.
Park officials unveiled construction plans May 1 at a meeting at Haas Park, 2402 N. Washtenaw Ave. Construction is expected to begin this fall at what is now called Park No. 556.
The Logan Square Dog Park will be tucked behind a Kennedy Expressway wall at the intersection of Logan Boulevard and Western Avenue.
