Pup-A-Palooza was great success!
Many thanks to all our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and guests for making this annual celebration of the Alum Creek Dog Park a great event.
Watch for upcoming volunteer opportunities on the events page. We look forward to seeing you at the park!
 Alum Creek Dog Park is continuing to grow in popularity! With beautiful spring weather usage is increasing. On recent weekends we have had up to 1000 cars visiting the park and over 1300 for the entire week.
Thank you to all who have volunteered.
Thanks to the many volunteers and sponsors who dedicated their time and resources to make the Alum Creek Dog Park happen! The dog park is on a 4-acre site along the Alum Creek reservoir near the Alum Creek Marina. The grounds include a fenced area with water access for dogs that enjoy water sports, and two additional fenced areas for small and large dogs. We couldn't ask for a nicer location!
It's not too late to get involved! Friends of Alum Creek Dog Park volunteers will be continuing to enhance the site and provide educational opportunities for the community. All activities of the friends group require enthusiastic support from you to ensure the ongoing success of the dog park. We look forward to seeing you and your dogs at the Alum Creek Dog Park and welcome your contributions to the friends group if you wish to get involved!
What's happening with contributions to the park?
Since the grand opening in June of 2006, monetary contributions have been used to add river rock to the dog beach area, add additional poop collection stations, install the sidewalk where engraved bricks are installed, and provide a continuing supply of poop bags.
In 2007 several projects are under consideration including, extending the dog beach area, adding drainage control to the large and small dog areas, lighting to extend the hours the park can be open throughout the year, a dog wash stations, and another entrance to the large dog area from a second parking lot on the back side of the dog park. Alum Creek State Park is also considering a second dog park within Alum Creek State Park! As you can see, we have an ambitious program and ample opportunity for you to get involved!
In 2007 we accomplished adding drainage control to the large and small dog areas, and purchased lighting fixtures for phase one of the lighting project. We will be evaluating what can be accomplished in 2008. Join the friends group and get involved!
All projects will take your continuing support by becoming an active volunteer and your contributions. Many thanks to everyone for contibutions left in the donation boxes at the entrances to the dog park.
