Description/History
The Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation’s FY17-18 budget included funding for the design and construction of Mansfield’s first off-leash dog park. Department staff identified five potential locations for the dog park and performed site evaluations and assessments of each location.

With the City Council’s approval of “Mans Best Field” as the official park name, staff has begun collecting quotes for the park entry sign.
