Marshfield Dog Park Celebrates 2-Year Anniversary with Celebration
The park, which opened two years ago, has become a beloved space for local dog owners and their pets.
The Friends of the Marshfield Dog Park are preparing to celebrate a significant milestone with a community event later this month. The park, which opened two years ago, has become a beloved space for local dog owners and their pets. On Sunday, July 27th, from 11 AM to 1 PM, the Friends of the Marshfield Dog Park will host a lemonade stand at the park to mark the anniversary. "Time flies when you're having fun! Our volunteers are excited to celebrate the two year anniversary of The Marshfield Dog Park being built," they announced on social media.
While the lemonade will be offered free of charge due to town regulations prohibiting sales on town-owned property, the organization will be accepting donations to support ongoing maintenance costs. There will also be pup cups for the four-legged members of the family. The Marshfield Dog Park was a significant community achievement, having required extensive grassroots effort to establish. "This was a five year journey to raise funds and secure land for this park. We're grateful for the support from the community in helping our nonprofit get this park built and keeping it clean," the group noted.
Maintenance of the park falls entirely to the nonprofit organization, which is responsible for everything inside the fence perimeter. According to their statement, "Our dedicated team of volunteers raises funds to maintain the park. Our nonprofit is responsible for maintaining everything on the inside of the fence." The group's largest recurring expense is professional waste management services. "Our largest expense is paying for the professional pet waste removal service. In an effort to keep the park clean and safe, we pay for this service three times a week," they explained.
The anniversary celebration offers an opportunity for community members to support the ongoing operations of this public amenity while enjoying refreshments with fellow dog enthusiasts. All proceeds will contribute to the continued maintenance and improvement of the Marshfield Dog Park.
