The City of Crossville’s K9 Cain Memorial Dog Park at Centennial Park receives Dog Park Dash $25,000 Grant

Crossville Press Release:

The Boyd Foundation will present the City of Crossville’s K9 Cain Memorial Dog Park in Centennial Park their grant award of $25,000 on Tuesday, July 17th, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. at the K9 Cain Memorial Dog Park in Centennial Park.



The Tennessee Dog Park Dash, funded by the Boyd Foundation, is dedicated to building or enhancing dog parks across the state. Established in 2018, this program is helping to make Tennessee the most pet-friendly state in America alongside other major efforts from brands including Radio Systems Corporation, the parent company of PetSafe®.

Crossville’s Centennial K9 Cain Memorial Dog Park was named after Officer Cain, the K-9 Officer who was killed in the line of duty August 2017, after he was stabbed during a police pursuit. The City submitted a request and was subsequently awarded a $25,000 Dog Park Dash grant announced Friday last week.

“The enhancements planned for the Dog Park include agility equipment such as Jump Hurdles, a Tunnel House, Bridge Climb, Balance Beam, Training Platform Hill Climb, and additional benches,” according to Greg Wood, Crossville’s City Manager.


The community, including their furry friends, of course, are invited to join the celebration as he accepts the check Tuesday morning at Centennial Park.
