Dogs and their humans are invited to join Staunton Parks & Recreation for the first-ever Bark Park Day from 9:30 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Gypsy Hill Bark Park dog park.
This family-friendly event is free and will feature a doggie obstacle course, pet photo and costume contest, and a dog parade.
“Bark Park Day is a great opportunity to introduce more dog owners to Gypsy Hill Park’s Dog Park through a new interactive pet event,” said Ken Jacobsen, program coordinator at Staunton Parks & Recreation. “The event will provide dogs with a special day of fun, play and exercise for all to enjoy.”
Participants are encouraged to take part in the special events or just allow their pets to enjoy a day in the Bark Park.
