Charlevoix Dog Park

PLEASE, PLEASE pick up after your pet. Be respectful. Be kind. And be aware. Our Dog Park is a privilege, not a right. Let's all work together to keep it a clean and safe space for our doggos!

Please consider keeping your dogs away from all dog parks, as well as other unfamiliar dog areas. There is a parvo-like illness in northern Michigan that is potentially dangerous for our pups.

Please read this article that was printed in the Detroit Free Press on August 21, 2022. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/08/21/unidentified-illness-killing-dogs-northern-michigan/7857417001/?fbclid=IwAR2gWCNkbMKzDiQPZOzqkRu4gpS3ioI0eUISgRnR7a8mYSk46KikJSe21ug

We have spoken with local veterinary clinics and the general recommendation is to limit, or even completely stop exposure to dog parks and other areas where you may encounter other unfamiliar dogs. To date, we have not seen this illness in our immediate area. We will closely monitor the situation and keep you updated as we learn more.

Again, for the time being, we are recommending that you do not visit our dog park, other dog parks, or parks where there may be other dogs.

If you have concerns, or if your pet is exhibiting symptoms as mentioned in the article, please call your veterinary clinic.

For questions relating to the Charlevoix Dog Park, please call 231-547-3253.

A mystery virus like parvo has been killing dogs across the state during the past month. Vets are currently still trying to figure it out.

Please be aware that we have placed a couple of live traps in the Park as we have had reports of a skunk inside the fence. These pose no threat to your dog and dogs should not be able to enter the trap. If you have any questions, or if you want to report a triggered trap, please call 231-547-3253 or 231-547-7183. Thank you!

CAUTION: Use the Dog Park at your own risk. There are several groups of ground bees in various spots in the Park. They appear to be docile, just be aware and be cautious!

You may be aware that we are planning the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on May 21 from 10 AM - Noon for the new Charlevoix Dog Park. Part of this event includes an 'All Things Dog' Expo and we welcome you to be a part of the festivities!

We invite you to set up a table/booth during the grand opening to promote/sell your dog-related business/products. Of course, you are welcome to have promotional giveaways at your space as well. There is no cost to you - we simply want to provide you with an opportunity to reach out to the community, and to let the community know what you have to offer.

If you are interested in participating, or have questions, please reply to this email or call me at 231-547-3253, or Kent Knorr at 231-547-7183. We will promote your participation on our website, and social media pages. We would like to know by May 16 if you would like booth space so we can plan and promote accordingly.

We are confident this will be a well-attended affair as the passion for this park in our community has been welcomed with much enthusiasm!

We look forward to hearing from you soon!

We are thrilled that so many doggos and their humans are enjoying our Dog Park during this 'soft' opening. This spring will bring signage, water fountain, play features and a ribbon cutting ceremony. We are thankful for all of you who helped make this community dream a reality.

That said...please be respectful and pick up after your pet. We want a safe and healthy park for you and your fur babies. Thank you for doing the right thing!
