Silky Terrier Dog Hawaiian Shirt

The PetIQ Dog Park in Eagle hasn’t even held its dedication ceremony, and already, Eagle residents have been enjoying the park.

On Wednesday, two rescue terrier mixes, Baxter and Midge, visited the park with their owner, Craig Cobb.

Baxter, a mostly white dog with a skull-and-crossbones-patterned harness and Midge, mostly black with a pink harness, were content at first to just sniff around the entrance. Then they began to explore around the grassy park, with small areas of trees and shade in the middle.

“It’s fun going down to the river and walking on the Greenbelt, but it’s nice to have a place close to home,” said Cobb, an Eagle resident of seven years. He’s been stopping by every day the park is open.

The space, located at 3151 E. Greenbrook Street, will be officially dedicated July 1; until then, the north side of the park is available for use Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. After the dedication, the north and south sides of the park will be open, with separate areas for small dogs and big dogs. The south side is currently closed to fix the sod.

PetIQ, a company that makes health and wellness products for cats and dogs, has put around $200,000 into the park, and the city of Eagle has put in $50,000 through park impact fees, according to Eagle Mayor Jason Pierce. Pierce said he reached out to PetIQ.

Pierce said a big part of the park is creating community, and the city plans to do that by holding “yappy hour” events for dogs and their people on the first Tuesday of the month.
