Scottsdale's $6.1 million Thompson Peak Dog Park opened Friday at Thompson Peak Park, 20199 N. 78th Place, giving north Scottsdale residents a 3.5-acre off-leash destination backed by voter-approved bonds and General Fund dollars.
The facility consists of three fenced and gated areas and includes bone-shaped benches, a footbridge, and restrooms for visitors, according to ABC15. A ribbon-cutting celebration was held the same day as the public opening, Scottsdale Patch reported.
The project drew its funding from voter-approved bonds alongside General Fund dollars, per Patch. The city's capital-improvement page lists the park as part of Scottsdale's ongoing investment in Thompson Peak Park.
Who funded the dog park?
The $6.1 million project was financed through a combination of voter-approved bonds and General Fund dollars, according to Scottsdale Patch. The bond component reflects a direct mandate from Scottsdale residents who approved the spending at the ballot.
The park is now open to the public.
