Hello park users, The Friends received complaints about an aggressive dog on the large dog side with a dog owner who let the behavior continue even when asked to rein in her dog. Owners must control their dogs. We want the dogs to play, but biting another dog is not ok. If you experience or witness an owner unwilling to remove their overly aggressive dog, call Animal Control Officer Carol Hepburn at 413-478-7084. Text her the information she needs to contact the dog owner and provide a description of the behavior. If others witness the behavior, ask them to contact Carol as well. For her to track down the owner, it helps to have the following information:
1. Take a picture of the dog, provide its name, and try to get the dog tag information.
2. Owner's name or a license plate.

Carol has successfully educated owners, required dog training before returning to the park, and/or banned them from the park.

Thanks to all for helping us maintain the Amherst Dog Park as a friendly place to enjoy. Your actions are not just appreciated, but they are also integral to the shared enjoyment of the park.

We could use your help pulling w**ds at the park. You may have noticed the gravel area is looking a bit w**dy. If you are able, we would love for visitors to pull a w**d or five to get the place looking a bit better. Weeds can be tossed in the grassy area to be mowed over, or thrown over the back fence. We appreciate your help!!

We have a few dog tags and other lost and found items at the park. Please stop by the kiosk or right near the entrance on the big dog side to see if they are yours. If you find anything at the park, please leave them in either of these two locations!

CORRECTION: our park clean up will be happening on SUNDAY not Saturday! We hope to see you at the park from 10a-12p to help with w**ding and other projects. The Friends of the Amherst Dog Park will be providing some tools, but we ask that you bring w**ding tools, shovels, gloves and buckets. See you then!

The Dog Park's big dog area will be closed this Wednesday & Thursday so that DPW can address a reported drainage issue impacting that side. The little dog area will remain open, with the big dog area expected to reopen on Friday. Thanks for your patience!

The park is officially back open and the water is on! We are still working on drainage issues, but the park is open and ready for you and your pups to stop by 😇
