Burnt Store Marina Dog Park

  • February 2026
  • BY BSM DOG PARK COMMITTEE

The Burnt Store Marina Dog Park had a great holiday season with our dog pictures with Santa and participating in the party around the marina during the Boat Decorating contest night. We appreciate all the people who came out to support the dog park.

Lori Luscher, one of our board members, managed our first annual dog park charity event. Lori gathered food, toys, blankets and treats as donations from the community for the Animal Welfare League of Charlotte County. Lori placed donation boxes all around the marina starting in October, and ended New Year’s Day. The community was so generous in this event that Lori was having to empty the bins and take carloads of donations every week to this great no-kill shelter for cats and dogs. This shelter depends on volunteers and donations to care for homeless and abandoned animals and was very grateful for this outpouring of support from Burnt Store Marina. We look forward to working with them again this year.

If you have not joined the dog park yet but are still thinking about it, please contact a member and come try it out for free. The hours of the park are 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. If you would like to join the Dog Park, the annual membership is still $100 per household. The forms for memberships can be found at the park or on the website https://bsm22.org/dog-park/.

See you at the park!

WOOF! WOOF!
