COVID Update:
I am happy to announce that the dog park is OPEN! Thank you to the Horsham Township for all their help and guidance through these very trying times and thank you for your understanding and patience.
The dog park will only stay open if we all FOLLOW the Covid-19 guidelines that are posted by the Horsham Township as well as the regular dog park rules. Please know that if the rules are not followed you may be asked to remove yourself from the park and the park might be shut down again.
Also, there is not any running water right now. Please make sure to bring your own until it’s up and running.
Our board is in the process of planning activities for fundraising and fun family events in the future.
Please be smart, stay safe, and enjoy our beautiful dog park!
