Message from Board of Directors

At our recent board meeting, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve an increase in annual dog park membership fees, effective January 1, 2026.

First dog: increasing from $25 to $40

Second dog: increasing from $10 to $20

This decision was not made lightly. Over the past two meetings, as well as through many conversations with members, we carefully considered the feedback, concerns, and suggestions shared by our community.

This increase will help set us up to cover the ongoing expenses we incur to operate the dog park, including insurance costs and general maintenance, so we can continue to provide a safe and enjoyable space for our dogs and their owners.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in Friends of Kinderhook Dog Park. If you have questions or would like to share feedback, you may message us here on Facebook or email us at [email protected].

Friends of Kinderhook Dog Park Board of Directors Meeting
December 14, 2025 1:00 pm
Kinderhook Library Community Room
PAID DOG PARK MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

Hello Kinderhook Dog Park Members!

The Friends of Kinderhook Dog Park Board of Directors would like to get your input on an important issue. As many of you know the cost of maintaining the dog park has risen over the years. Our insurance, lawn care, and p**p bag costs are greater than they were. At the same time, we have seen PAID memberships decrease. As a result we have made the difficult decision to raise the cost of membership. Historically, the cost has remained at $25 per dog with $10 for an additional dog since our inception. The Board will be voting on the Rate Increase for 2026 memberships on December 14, 2025. While we will have the deciding vote we would like your input.

We want to hear from you:

Come to the meeting for public comment prior to the vote BETWEEN 1:00 and 1:30 pm.

Canโ€™t make it? Make your voice heard by emailing [email protected]

Thank You!
