Bark Park Cleanup Scheduled

Councilman Bob Weiner invites you to join him for our Tally Day Bark Park Maintenance Day

On behalf all New Castle County citizens and Talley Day County bark park users, Councilman Robert Weiner invites you to volunteer at the Talley Day County Bark Park Citizens Maintenance Day on Friday, March 27, 2015 at 10 am.  The semiannual event is always scheduled on a Brandywine School District “in service day” so students, boy scouts, girl scouts and school service groups can participate and earn community service hours. “As in every year, I look forward to meeting all of you at our beloved dog park” says Council Weiner.

The citizen tasks include spreading mulch at both the small and large bark park areas. Please encourage volunteers to bring their own rakes and shovels as there is always an insufficient supply available from New Castle County. The total time should be 2 to 4 hours but citizens can participate in whatever amounts of time they want to contribute. 

Councilman Weiner explains: “We hope to lessen the burden on our Department of Special Services Parks Department by having volunteers spread mulch in our large and small bark parks to improve the quality of the park for months to come.  Friends of Talley Day Bark Park is not an organization per se. Our two major activities are the spring and fall clean up at the Bark Park which I organize with the assistance of our citizen volunteers. There is no membership roster or list of volunteers.”

The Friends of Talley Day Park is registered with New Castle County Pride, our 501 (c) (3), such that in kind and financial contributions can be earmarked for the benefit of the park.
