UPDATED: Money Being Raised for Merrimack Dog Park

Editor’s note: An incorrect link submitted to Patch to buy the T-shirt has been fixed.

Organizers trying to raise money for the Merrimack Dog Park Fund have a T-shirt fundraising campaign running through Aug. 28.

The Friends of the Merrimack Dog Park is a nonprofit group dedicated to building an enclosed dog park in Merrimack and need to raise around $60,000 for the effort. So far, they’ve raised about $8,400.

Like many cities and towns, Merrimack doesn’t have money in its budget for a dog park so private funds are being sought from supporters of the park and animal lovers.

The park will be located in Wasserman Park, off Naticook Road.

This past spring, the park area was cleared and now, stumps need to be removed. In addition to site work, footing and fencing will also need to be purchased and installed.

The area already has a parking lot, hiking trails, a playground, and a beach, on Naticook Lake. There will be two sections of the park for large and small dogs.

The T-shirts (pictured in this post) are selling for $25.
