It’s finally happening! A safe, secure and friendly place you can take your dogs to let them play, run and socialize will soon be open.

Please join us to celebrate the new off-leash dog park this Thursday, October 2nd at 5:00 pm with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Directions below.

Dog Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony 10/2/08 5pm!

The new Park City dog park is located at the southeast corner of Quinn’s recreation complex, below the National Abilities Center and ice rink.

Can you imagine taking your beloved pet to a shelter, simply because you can’t afford dog or cat food? It’s a heartbreaking decision thousands of people across the country are being forced to make everyday.

That’s why the 1st Annual Pet Food Drive was created. The goal is to help people keep their pets by making pet food available at the local food banks and pantries. Please buy an extra bag of dog or cat food the next time you head to the store.

Donation drop-off details below!

In Park City, you can drop donations at the following locations through October 18th:

Petco - Redstone Plaza, 6030 North Market St

Park City Animal Clinic - 1725 Sidewinder Drive

Silver Creek Animal Clinic - 6427 North Business Park Loop Road
