I've got three dogs that love going to the dog park but the problem is that we only have one dog park here in the Tri-Cities and it's located in Richland.

Kennewick has been trying to get a dog park going for several years and it looks like it will happen.

An article from Apple Valley News reports that the new dog park is getting close to becoming a reality thanks to the Kennewick Parks and Recreation Department.

"If you have no dog parks, every park becomes a dog park, Farline said. "We've identified through comprehensive planning - both, a plan that was done a few years ago and then our most recent comprehensive plan for our Parks and Recreation Department - that a dog park was a top priority and a need for the community."

So if you've wanted a dog park in Kennewick like me, it'll soon be a reality as a deal is almost done to put it right behind the Playground of Dreams in Columbia Park. The park could potentially cover 3.5 acres.

I know once it opens, I'll have some happy pooches. You can get more details on the park here.
