🌳🐾 Today, the park board + volunteers rolled up our sleeves and got to work — we weeded, trimmed back trees (goodbye poisonous berries! 🍃), scrubbed dog bowls ‘til they sparkled, and gave the bulletin board a fresh new look. ✨

Huge thanks to everyone who came out today — your energy and effort made all the difference! 🙌 We’d love even more paws and helping hands next time. 🐶❤️

Stay tuned for the next Park Cleanup Day — Swipe to learn more!

Last Sunday, volunteers dedicated their time to beautify the Newark Dog Park. This entailed raking leaves, cleaning up old dog 💩, snipping branches, and more.

Newark Dog park is a 501 (c)(3), made possible by a board and volunteers, so we are so grateful for all the people who make the park run smoothly!

It’s the season of gratitude, so we want to say a special thank you to all the regular park goers, visitors, and volunteers! And a BIG thank you to the volunteers who deep cleaned the park; let’s keep it clean!
