Work on examining possible sites is set to begin in the next few weeks.
Another new dog park could be on its way to the midlands.
That's according to Laois councillor Noel Touhy, who says he's got "all but a guarantee" from the local authority that a dog park will be developed in Portlaoise.
Work on examining possible sites is set to begin in the next few weeks, with the final development expected to be completed by the summer of next year.
It follows the opening an off-leash dog park in Mullingar in July, with calls for one to also be developed in Athlone.
The Labour rep feels there should be a designated area for people to walk their dogs:
