Dog Walks and Meet-Ups

One of the best ways to bond with your dog and meet other dog owners is through organized walks and meet-ups. These events provide a relaxed atmosphere where you can socialize while your dogs play together.

• Monthly Dog Walk: Join us every first Saturday of the month at Riverside Park. This is a great opportunity to explore the park’s trails while your dog enjoys the fresh air.

Attending community events can be a rewarding experience for both you and your dog. Here are some tips to ensure a positive outing:

• Bring Water: Always carry water for your dog, especially during warm weather. Hydration is key!

• Use a Leash: Keep your dog on a leash unless in designated off-leash areas. This ensures safety for all attendees.
