Tails are wagging all over town in anticipation of Parker's third annual Barker Days event on Saturday, Sept. 8 at O'Brien Park. The event will feature a temporary dog park in the O'Brien Park ball field and H2O'Brien Pool, dog demonstrations, contests and dog-related vendors.
Dogs and their owners can come to O'Brien Park between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for canine fun and socialization. Dogs can take a dip in the pool (closed to humans for the season and neutralized to be dog-friendly), chase balls on the baseball field, enter contests, test their skills on an agility course and rub noses with local dog-related service providers. A separate play area will be provided for small dogs under 25 pounds that prefer to play with friends their own size.
Registration for Barker Days is $5 per dog for Parker residents, $7 for nonresidents; humans are free. Due to the popularity of this event, it is highly recommended that you pre-register for this event through Parker Recreation's online registration system, www.ParkerRec.com. Registration the day of the event will be on a space-available basis. Dogs who pre-register will have expedited check-in and receive a "doggie bag" of treats courtesy of local businesses.
