Quann Park News:
Quann4dogs booth at Dog Fest
Quann4Dogs will have a booth at Dog Fest, June 12, 2005 at the Alliant Energy Center on Willow Island. Dog Fest is directly across the street from Quann off-leash dog-park, so if you have yet to visit Quann park this is a great opportunity to check it out! Come and enjoy the Dog Fest activities, then walk across the road and let your dogs romp and play, or take a dip in Wingra creek! We will have dog park permit application forms at our booth. Our focus again this year will be to raise awareness of this great park. We will also be collecting donations for fencing of the Quann dog park.
Volunteers are needed to help set up, take down and sit at the booth. To volunteer, please call Barb Gilligan at 258-8996.
Quann Off-leash Dog Park will be impacted by the following 2005 Alliant Energy Center events:
This list was compiled by the Alliant Energy Center (AEC) to notify
the city about possible CLOSURE of Olin-Quann Parkway (formerly Expo
Drive) to the TENNIS COURT PARKING LOT in Quann Park. More
events may be added as the AEC firms up its summer schedule. The
AEC has the right to use Quann Park because it holds a 50 year lease
on the land. The events which have historically CLOSED the Quann off-leash
dog park are noted in Bold.

CAUTION!
The earth-moving north of the dog park in Quann consists of fly-ash contaminated
soil from the East Wash reconstruction. Fly ash is the residue from
coal burning and is high in HEAVY METALS and therefore must be disposed
of in a landfill. City Engineering does not consider this an inhalation
danger because the ash is well mixed with soil. However, eating the
soil could be toxic. Please prevent your dogs from going into the construction
area, for their own safety. City engineering has put up an orange mesh
fence to help keep dogs out. There should not be heavy machinery moving
on the Quann roads due to this project.
