The Knoxville City Council heard a proposal from Dick Reed of the Parks and Recreation Committee regarding the creation of a dog park on the east end of Auld Park.

City Manager Aaron Adams says the area is the site of the old baseball field and is currently underutilized. Adams’ expectation is that an organization will be created to cheaply lease the property from the city and fundraise to privately maintain the property for the the use of Knoxville dog owners.
