After several years of dedicated work and persistence, the construction of a  long-awaited Sturgeon Bay Bark Park shelter was completed this month.  The small building gives dog owners a place for shade and shelter between the two fenced-in areas of the dog park while allowing access to both sides for their pets.  The City of Sturgeon Bay Parks Department and several volunteers, Virge Temme, Mike Dovichi, Jim Sommers, Tony Waldron, Greg Joyner, and Shawn Parsons, completed the project that was budgeted for between $10,000 and $15,000.  Bark Park is located on Shiloh Road near the Sturgeon Bay Industrial Park and is sponsored by the Door County Humane Society.
