The City of Tuscola hosted a dedication and ribbon cutting to celebrate the newly installed Kelly Lock Memorial Dog Park at the North end of Ervin Park. The park was made possible by a generous donation from Lyle and Linda Lock in honor of their late daughter, Kelly Lock. Kelly was a founding member of the Hands for Paws, a Douglas County humane outreach group, and her dream was to have a dog park in Tuscola. The 0.75-acre dog park features perimeter fencing, double-gate entry, two separate play areas, play structures, and waste bag dispensers. Local artist, Ainslie Heilich, painted dog themed murals on the play structures located inside the dog park.
