Acton Community Dog Park is funded through the generosity of many:
The Stanton Foundation, through its Canine Welfare programs, has provided a $25K grant to cover design costs, and has also committed an additional $250K to park construction.
A Stanton Foundation-required $25K Town construction match was awarded at Acton's 2021 Annual Town Meeting.
Residents have contributed close to $15K through fundraising efforts organized by the Friends of Acton Community Dog Park, with a goal of raising $40K. Be sure to watch this site or our Facebook page for updates.
The "Friends" will be seeking donations of goods and materials, such as benches, water stations, groundskeeping tools, and the like as park construction commences.
Make a one-time or ongoing financial contribution, or hold your own fundraiser to support the park.
