City of Milpitas Secures Grant for Delano Manongs Park Dog Park
The City of Milpitas has achieved a significant milestone by securing a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to enhance Delano Manongs Park with a new dog park section. This matching grant, totaling $301,516, will facilitate the construction of a dedicated area for larger dogs. The project includes the installation of asphalt and decomposed granite, concrete paving, fencing, signage, site furnishings, landscaping, and irrigation throughout the park. However, the commencement of the work is contingent upon the completion of other related projects within the park. The grant provides flexibility for reallocating park fund monies to address additional infrastructure needs in the Milpitas metro area.
