Mark your calendar for our official welcome back party on Saturday, October 3rd from 3-5pm. We will have pup cups, paint with your pup, Kingsman Bark merch, and other family and dog friendly activities!

Huge thank you to our city partners, local businesses, and some of our volunteers for helping make this event (and the park opening) possible!

As a reminder, Kingsman Bark is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization of neighbors working to improve the Kingsman Field Dog Park. All donations go towards park beautification and ongoing maintenance!

Come grab a treat from our new treat box, check out park happenings on the new bulletin board, and enjoy our new park. We will need lots of treats to keep it refilled so check out our Amazon wishlist to help us replenish for the pups!

Big thanks to Nick Kahl for his handy work!

Join us for the return of our monthly park clean ups, held on the second Saturday of every month. Bark Board members Morgan and Nick will walk through the chores list and show you the tools and supplies on hand. No experience is needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to pitch in.

Whether you can stay the whole time or just for a little while, every bit helps keep Kingsman Dog Park looking its best. It’s also a great chance to meet fellow park pals and see what goes into keeping the park safe and clean for more play. And since Kingsman Bark is a registered nonprofit, clean up hours also count towards community service requirements for students.

Please note: during monthly cleanups, the park is sprayed with a dog-safe sanitizing solution recommended by DPR. The dog park closes for one hour while the spray dries.

The park is back… and so are our monthly clean ups! As this will be the first one after our opening, there will not be THAT much to do but we will orient the group to new storage, new tools, and new protocols (mulch raking, sanitizing, bio retention area maintenance, etc)

Join us to help keep the new park feel and receive the latest updates on remaining park renovation items and upcoming plans. And if you’d like to become a full time member of our volunteer clean up crew - please drop us a message!!

Satisfy your burger craving while supporting the dog park!

On Wednesday, August 19, Hill East Burger will donate 15 percent of all dine-in and takeout sales to our ongoing dog park maintenance and improvement efforts.

Once the renovation wraps, it’s on us to keep the park in good shape for more play time. Your support helps cover the essentials: supplies for monthly cleanings, fresh water bowls, a medical kit for emergencies, and p**p bags for the public dispensers. It also fuels social events like pack walks that keep the community connected.

Grab dinner, bring a friend, and know that every burger helps keep the park a safe, reliable place for your pup.

🗓️ Wednesday, August 19th at 5-10pm
