Cape Cod Dog Parks
Wed, May 20, 2009
There are a couple big initiatives to open official dog parks on this wonderful peninsula, and I wanted to share their progress!
Pilgrim Bark Park, Provincetown:
This gated, off-leash community space in Provincetown comes complete with a doggy water fountain! Pilgrim Bark Park consists of almost an acre of land enclosed with a six foot high fence and double entry gates facing away from the street. Two sections have been created — one for dogs under twenty-five pounds and a general section for all dogs. True to Provincetown’s reputation, local artists contributed to the park as well, designing benches and poop-bag stations in a canine-theme. Opening day was May 16, 2009 so hurry up and get out there!
Local dog boutique, Hot Diggity, is heading up the Mashpee Dog Park Committee as the group establishes itself as a non-profit and secures land for this future dog park. If you’re able to offer up any services, please e-mail them at woof@hotdiggityonline.com! I imagine many future Dogs of Cape Cod photo shoots will happen at this park, since it will only be a couple of minutes from my home!

Hi!
FYI, We are garnering community support to build a dog park in Falmouth. A committee is being formed to identify land and design for the park. This effort is being supported by Uptown Dog Cape Cod, Friends of Falmouth Dogs, The Falmouth Chamber of Commerce, Falmouth Village Association, and the Falmouth Visitor. Anyone who wants to add their signature to our petition can do so at Uptown Dog Cape Cod, 143 Main Street in Falmouth – 508.548.4115.
Thank you!
