Yappy Hour Community Conversations
*** CANCELED ***
We will reschedule our Yappy Hours at a later date. Stay tuned...
Yappy Hour - community conversations about Dog Parks in the future of Dorothea Dix Park
Let's get together to help plan for future off-leash areas at Dix Park! The current dog park area at Dix Park was designated as temporary from the start knowing that the former athletic field location is part of a Phase 1 project area, the Gateway Plaza and Play. Our Yappy Hours offer dog owners opportunities to meet with Dix Park staff and provide feedback so we can work together to create great dog park spaces as the park evolves.
Yappy Hour Dates
- Saturday, March 14 | CANCELED
- Thursday, March 19 | CANCELED
While smaller in scale than our Pop PupAlooza events, we will have a couple food and beer vendors at Yappy Hour. The dog park has some seating and you are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets. No outside alcohol allowed.
RSVP
Registration helps us plan for how many folks are attending and we can send you important event updates including inclement weather notices.
Weather
If we need to postpone or cancel due to inclement weather, we will email all registered participants through Eventbrite ( Please RSVP) and post on the Dix Park Facebook Page.
