Mission
Let's Build a Dog Park Together!
Imagine a place your dogs can run free and frolic like they are in the Land of Oz right here in Oconomowoc! That's right...we're planning a DOG PARK...in Oconomowoc! Toto's Territory will be located just east of Imagination Station at Roosevelt Park. The 16-acre park is designed to include separate off-leash areas for small and large breeds, walking paths and drinking water stations.
Toto’s Territory will include fencing, separate off-leash areas for small and large breeds, walking paths, benches, waste-bag dispensers and water-drinking stations. The total fundraising goal is $150,000, but the City of Oconomowoc has agreed to contribute up to $75,000. In addition to private donations, Toto’s Territory is accepting corporate sponsorships as well. FOPT is a non-profit organization; therefore, participants should consult with their tax advisor as donations may be tax deductible.
All donation amounts are appreciated.
Available sponsorship opportunities include:
Engravable Park Benches: $4000 each (3 available)
Toto Statue Dedication: $5000 (1 available)
Pet Waste Bag Dispenser: $5000 (1 available)
Drinking Fountain: $12,000 (1 available)

Lake Country Pickleball Club
The "Friends" partnered with Lake Country Pickleball Club to build a 20 court world-class, tournament-ready, dedicated pickleball facility at Northeast Park on Hwy P and Hwy K (right behind Meadowview School). The positive feedback and demand from the community is so great that the Pickle Ball Club would like to build 10 more courts south of where the existing ones are located in the city's newest park, 1350 Whalen Drive.
