Whiteville Correctional Carpentry Class Designs Sign for Whiteville Dog Park
The Carpentry Class at Whiteville Correctional Facility recently designed and installed the sign for the new Whiteville Dog Park, under the instruction of Mr. Thomas Beavers.
The Town of Whiteville celebrated the grand opening of its new dog park on Saturday, October 28, 2023. The dog park is located next to the Lee Ola Roberts Library at 140 West Main Street in Whiteville.
Last summer, The Boyd Foundation announced the Town of Whiteville was one of the 2022 grant winners of the Dog Park Dash program. Whiteville received a $25,000 grant to build the dog park.
The goal of the Dog Park Dash program was to make Tennessee the most pet-friendly state in America with the building of 100 dog parks across the state. Last summer’s grant winners announcement brought the program full circle with 100 dog parks already built or works in progress throughout the State of Tennessee.
