Peekskill Dog Splash September 25, 2010 10am-Noon

I have blogged about the Peekskill Dog Park before. It just happens to be the creation of clients of mine. The story is that they got the city to dedicate underused parkland to an attraction that gets dozens of users a week. 

In 12 days, the park will have its 2nd annual fundraiser, the Peekskill Dog Splash. It will actually take place at the lake at Depew Park, and all dogs will have a chance to splash around and swim and have a good time. There will be a complimentary dog wash station, so your wet dog will go home smelling fresh and clean, which, frankly, you know you could use about now. Admit it.

Depew Park

If your dog is a little breed, there will be kiddie pools. There will also be music, giveaways, and you'll meet plenty of other dog aficionados and dog-o-philes who walk on their hind legs. 

Pre registration is required, so go to PeekskillDogPark.com and get your pooch in. Registration is $10, which is almost free in dog dollars. We are still enjoying nice weather in this area, and I'd expect late September to be a bit of a last hurrah for some of us in the "getting out and doing something special with our dog" department. They give us unconditional love, and they earned a play date.

Great Post! We have far too few dog parks in the U.S.! We have a great dog beach in Pensacola if you're ever down this way!

We always have fun at the dog park or anywhere for that matter. Suggest a 'bobbing for hot dogs' in a small pool, the dogs loved it at our outing last month.

Phil, sounds like a great time for the doggies and their owners!  Good idea and effort on your clients' part too!

Thanks Phil for reminding us that real estate is about "land" ... and what happens on or is built on it.  When we extend our understanding of its use ... becoming involved in the activities it generates is a natural evolution.  In my opinion ... this is full service real estate at its best!

Missed your blog about the park---will read that next.  We NEED a dog park in Noblesville, Indiana.  Most dog parks in our area are no larger than my own back yard and nothing to write home about---or write a blog about!!!  I just might have to hook up with your clients for some advice on getting this going!  Thanks Philip!!

Sounds like fun! My little girl is obsessed by water and would jump in any water given the chance!

Where is MAX? Is he going to this? I hope he will make friends with other dogs.
