Gallery: Dog Splash Pad opens at the Humane Society of Marion County


Maera, a shelter dog, plays on the new splash pad, as Stephanie Roberts, the shelter operations manager, right, gives her an ice cream treat on the opening day of Petunia Park, the new splash pad for dogs, at the Humane Society of Marion County on Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021. A donor, who wanted to remain anonymous, donated $50,000 to the Humane Society for the 20 x 20 foot splash pad. Petunia Park also includes an agility area for dogs in addition to a doggie pool and a doggie sandbox. Petunia Park will be used for shelter dogs to give them the chance to get outside, cool off and have some fun. The park will not be open to the public to use as a splash pad for dogs.
