Description

Press release from the Guilford County Government: 07/21/2021 Guilford County Parks will host a preview of the Dog Park set to open Fall 2021. All vaccinated dogs and their owners are invited to attend the Dog Park preview at Northeast Park, 3441 Northeast Park Dr. Gibsonville, Saturday, July 24 at 9 a.m. to receive a first look at the design. Guilford County Parks is in the process of repurposing a no longer in use baseball field into a Dog Park. This project aligns with the department's focus on community engagement. The dog park will feature agility equipment, shade structures and it will be handicap accessible. The facility is currently open to the public during regular park hours. "We heard from many community members that they desired a place to let their dogs run free while at the park" said Tim Brown, Northeast Park Supervisor. "This dog park will provide a great place for both owners and dogs to be fully engaged while using this facility. This is an opportunity for community dog activities and will allow our community advocates to program special events at this location". Backyard Canine Academy will host a live demo during the event. They will show some of their dogs in basic and advanced obedience as well as scent work to include gun powder detection and article searches. They will also be open to take any questions anyone has regarding training. Guilford County Animal Services will also be onsite to host a rabies clinic and they'll have some adoptable dogs available. Please call 336-641-3401 to register.
