Broome County Executive Jason Garnar said the project is expected to cost about $200,000. He said the facility will be similar to other dog parks in the Southern Tier.

Garnar said the work is part of the county's park reconstruction initiative.

Otsiningo North is connected to the main park in the town of Dickinson by a walking trail. The entrance is located on Howell Drive, just east of Front Street.

The county will use a $25,000 grant from PetSafe to cover a portion of the cost of developing the dog park.
