The City of Searcy will celebrate the grand opening of its new Dog Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 21, at the Carmichael Community Center.

The park was designed to provide a dedicated space where dogs and their owners can gather, exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Planning & Development Director Richard Stafford designed the project in coordination with Davidson Engineering.

The new park includes separate fenced areas for large and small dogs, allowing pets of all sizes to play safely. Visitors will also find a covered pavilion with shaded seating for pet owners, along with a pup drinking station to help dogs stay hydrated during their visit.

The Dog Park is the newest addition to Searcy’s expanding parks and recreation system and is part of the city’s continued efforts to enhance recreational opportunities for residents and their pets.

“This is a project that many residents have been excited about, and we’re thrilled to see it become a reality,” said Mayor Mat Faulkner. “We look forward to seeing families and their four-legged friends enjoy it for years to come.”

The City of Searcy is inviting residents and their dogs to attend the grand opening and celebrate the park’s official opening.
