West Des Moines plans Raccoon River dog park shelter

• The shelter is one of the most regularly requested amenities at the park, staff says. Meanwhile, the net climbing equipment is around 16 years old and needs replacing.
• Estimated costs are around $100,000 and $200,000, respectively.

The big picture: West Des Moines Parks and Rec requested around $5 million from the city's fiscal budget to fund 15 projects.

• The council approved it last week.
