Carlisle Area Dog Parks Association

Carlisle Area Dog Parks Association Our goal is the operation and continued development of a dog park for the Carlisle, Pennsylvania area.

The Carlisle Area Dog Parks Association (CADPA) is a group of local citizens who have
created a dog park at Shaffer Park in Carlisle. CADPA’s mission is to maintain and
improve the park as a safe and secure place for dogs and their owners to socialize,
exercise and play. Over the last several decades, as an increasing number of citizens have become dog
owners, most communities have adopted leash l

aws to protect both residents and dogs. But these laws have increasingly limited the space where owners may freely and legally
exercise their dogs off-leash. Research shows that both dog owners and their canine companions are happier and
healthier in communities that have safely fenced dog parks where dogs may freely run
and play. Dogs who get plenty of exercise and socialization with others, both canine and
human, bark less, sleep more, and make better neighbors. Finally, dog parks free up
other community parks, making them safer, cleaner and easier to maintain. All dogs served by CADPA are neutered, licensed and up to date on vaccinations. For
the many visitors to the Carlisle area who travel with their dogs, CADPA offers a
temporary, non-resident program. CADPA has raised funds needed to construct and maintain the dog park through
fundraisers, donations, membership fees and a grant. Those funds have been and
continue to be used to clear, mulch, plant, fence and electronically gate separate play
areas for large and small dogs

We’ve recently faced two unexpected challenges at the dog park — urgent tree removal for safety and critical gate system repairs to keep our park secure.

These costs weren’t in our annual budget, and we’re asking our community for support.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward covering these expenses, and any additional funds will help with ongoing park maintenance.

Your contribution helps us keep the park safe, open, and welcoming for everyone.
