The Halloween Pet Costume Party was a great event! Lots of fun for our members and new friends and pups. See pictures on our website.
We added a new feature at the entrance of each of the dog parks for our members. See picture below. This is a bell that our members can ring if there are too many dogs congregating at the gate when they are trying to enter. All the dogs get so excited when a new dog is coming in and they run to greet them. When too many dogs do this at the same time, it can be overwhelming for the dog and owner who is trying to enter. If the owner who is entering will ring this bell, all the owners who are in the park MUST come and retrieve their dogs and move their pet at least 10 feet from the gate to allow entry for the new dog and owner. Last year, we had noticed from our camera that a few owners became frustrated and left because of this issue. We want to ensure that it never happens again, and we think this will ensure that it does not.
We are still accepting brick and banner donations to pay for ongoing park landscaping and permanent toys. We are happy to have more memberships too! The forms for banners, bricks, and memberships can be found on the website: https://bsm22.org/dog-park/.
See you at the park!
WOOF! WOOF!
