One Good Thing: Holland raises money for its first dog park

The city has launched a $200,000 fundraising campaign to fund the park.

HOLLAND, Michigan — The final OGT of the week may be appreciated a whole lot more by your dog than you. But, I'm pretty sure you'll like it, too.

The City of Holland is raising money for its very first dog park. They need $200,000. If they get there, the park will be at the Van Raalte Historic Farm. It'll be three acres and have two separate areas: one for big dogs, one for the little ones. There will also be an enclosed, heated dog-wash station and year-round restrooms.

If they get the money they need, they want to start building next spring.

If you own a dog, you live a longer, happier life. That's just science. So, the Holland City dog park campaign gets today's One Good Thing.
