Hey dog lovers, your winter wishes have been granted! Bring your dog(s) out to our Dog Days Winter Romp and enjoy an hour and a half of lantern lit play in the Steven A. Kirshenbaum Memorial Dog Park. We are keeping the front of the park open to allow you and your dog(s) a chance to stretch your legs and get out of the house this winter. This event is as simple as it sounds, there are no prizes, no contests and no demos, --just an hour and a half of pure dog-playing bliss. It’ll most likely be cold out there so dress for the weather.
