Rover’s Run: Bark Park @ Beckenholdt Park

WHO:      Greenfield dogs and their owners will get to enjoy our very first dog park!

WHERE: Rover’s Run Bark Park – Corner of 300 North & Franklin Street in the new   Beckenholdt Park.

WHAT:    Rover’s Run is a two-acre dog park located in the newly developed Beckenholdt Park at 2770 North Franklin Street.  The dog park consists of walk ways, shade trees, two shelters, a watering station appropriately named, The Slobber Lounge, and lots of open area for running and Frisbee tosses!  The dog park is completely fenced with an electronic gate entry system.  This gate entry system will limit entry to members only who have shown proof that their dog(s) are properly vaccinated, parasite free and spayed or neutered.  We want the park to be safe for pets and people! **Even though the dog park is considered self-monitoring, representatives from the Parks Department and PAWS will be present frequently.  Any dog displaying aggressive behavior will be asked to leave.  Membership will be revoked should the behavior persist.  An Advisory Council composed of various community members will monitor the activities at the park and make recommendations for improvements.

WHEN:  The Parks Department will begin accepting applications for membership on January 3, 2011 at the Patricia Elmore Center - 280 North Apple St. (317) 477-4340

COST:  $40-Residents and $50-Non Residents.

All members will also pay a $10 card fee.  *Memberships are limited, so register now!
