June 17, 2020 – West Bend, WI – Sandy Paws Dog Park located in Sandy Knoll County Park is now open. The new park consists of a small dog area and an 8-acre large dog area featuring open play areas and hiking trails.
A couple of four-legged visitors took their humans for a walk on Friday afternoon, June 12. All chimed in with rave reviews about the cleanliness of the park, the trails and even the animal education signs.
Sandy Paws is the second dog park for Washington County Parks fully funded by contributions from the community.
“I toured the new dog park with Curt and Dale Stockhausen,” said County Executive Josh Schoemann. “Without their generous donation, this dog park would not be possible. The Stockhausens’ generosity ensures many more generations will enjoy the park; it was privilege to open this dog park with them. Recreation activities have always been important to our community and are even more critical to our quality of life.”
