The Ankeny Dog Park opened in the fall of 2010, thanks to Title Sponsor Community State Bank and numerous community donors. Fundraising efforts continue for future amenities, such as a walking path to be added later this summer. The 5th Annual BarktoberFest at Chips Restaurant on October 13 will be the grand finale of the season.
