First Dog Walk Was a Success!

Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday to join us in our first West Hartford Dog Park Coalition Dog Walk! Everyone had a great time, and we look forward to seeing even more of you this coming Saturday for the next walk. This time we'll meet at the Pond House at Elizabeth Park at 1:00pm to stroll through the park. The tulip garden is in full bloom, so it will be a perfect time to visit.

Enjoy the photos below, thanks to Libby, of the walk last Sunday.

Unleash Your Inner Dog

The first set of shirts arrived this week. Watch for the committee members wearing their shirts around town. Additional tees will be on their way soon--email westhartforddogpark@gmail.com if you're interested in grabbing one for yourself or a friend. This is a great way to show your support, and they make fun gifts as well! We will also have shirts available for Celebrate West Hartford coming up June 14-15. Stop by the booth to say hi!

It's Monday...

Mondays are always the hardest days to start the week, aren't they? I was emailed these photos today and thought they'd give you a smile... Enjoy! (Sorry--no photo credit was included in the email.)

We're All New!

With the start of April (and hopefully the warmer weather) we've launched our new website as well as our new blog! Please take some time to look through the site, see what some of the other dog parks in Connecticut look like, and let your four-legged canine friend(s) come to play in our dog'E'park.

We're excited to have such a great support from the community and know with that support we'll soon have a new dog park underway.
