“Our tails are wagging with excitement to bring this large dog playground to Moncus Park,” said Emily Hamner, executive director of Pinhook Foundation.
Best Friends Bark Park is made possible through funds raised from Moncus Park’s 2021 SOLA Giving Day Campaign, a substantial gift from friends and family of Patrick Reische Gray, and a generous contribution from Pinhook Foundation, whose dedication to animals and community shines through within this valuable addition to Moncus Park.
Best Friends Bark Park for large dogs is the second dog park located within Moncus Park following the Giles Automotive Family Small Dog Park, which opened in January 2022.
The tentative completion date for Best Friends Bark Park, the large breed dog park, is set for Fall 2023.
If you’re a dog parent and would enjoy the off-leash dog parks, an annual $13 permit is required to ensure the safety of all dogs and their owners. To purchase your dog’s permit, you can visit www.moncuspark.org/dogpark. Permits are only required for the off-leash dog parks. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout Moncus Park as per City Ordinance Sec. 10-121.
