“The public health emergency has reminded us of the importance of our outdoor spaces, whether it be for humans or our four-legged friends,” Styron said in a press release. “This has been an important goal of mine and will further strengthen our incredible parks system and the amenities we offer. I am excited to bring a much needed and desired dog park to Zionsville residents.” 

There is no word yet on when construction will begin or when it is expected to open.
