Designers of Cottage Grove’s first dog park hope to capture community’s vibe

James Steiner, a lecturer in UW-Madison’s Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture, collaborated with UW-Madison design students Keegan Ripley and Henry Hinchsliff to design the project, currently dubbed Bark Park. The effort was carried out through UniverCity Alliance, a campus organization that’s part of the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and provides students with hands-on experience developing local projects.
