A new dog park in southwest Stanton and a parkette on Orangewood Avenue will be built, following approval by the Stanton City Council Tuesday evening.
A 54,866 square-foot vacant, “underutilized” property, running east-southeast from Western Avenue to Cerritos Avenue, will be turned into a dog park after being approved at Tuesday’s Stanton City Council meeting. Another similar property, located at the end of Orangewood Avenue and sized at 9,450 square feet, will be developed into a parkette.
