UPDATE: Many have reached out saying they are interested in helping out - THANK YOU! At this time we are compiling a list of those interested in learning more about volunteering and collecting contact information....stay tuned for message if you havent heard from us yet. From there we will work to put a date together to have an informational meeting so everyone can learn more! Keep an eye out for an email once a date has been confirmed!

ATTN: Sadly, after many successful recent years of hosting such a great event, we need to announce that there will not be a Horsham Dog Park Halloween/Anniversary party this year.

For those that are not aware, the dog park and its general upkeep are managed by a group of community volunteers that make up a board within a 501(c)(3) non-profit. This means we are required to have officers and sitting board members that are dedicated to help plan events and fundraise each year in order to afford things like the treated, dog friendly mulch and other upkeep needed each year.

THE TOWNSHIP DOES NOT COVER THE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES OF THE DOG PARK LIKE THEY DO FOR OTHER PLAYGROUNDS AND PARKS IN HORSHAM.

This year, the sitting board, all of whom have held positions since 2020, has all recently resigned due to many reasons (lost their dog, dog no longer uses park, moved, etc.) and we are in desperate need of new volunteer community members to take over.

The current dog park board has a number of open positions. If you are interested in becoming involved in your community's dog park and taking the reins on fundraising and events for the dog park, please send us a message as there are several spots to fill.

The out-going board members are happy to on-board and pass the baton onto a new class of community volunteers and dog park users so that the Horsham Dog Park can resume to its usual, amazing events and fundraising efforts to ensure the park can continue to be well maintained - we still believe its the best [free] park around, and we want to be sure we keep it that way!

Until that time, all dog park events will be suspended.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING, PLEASE MESSAGE US WITH YOUR NAME AND CONTACT INFO. WE HOPE TO HOLD AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WHERE WE CAN SHARE MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT IS NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THIS PARK GREAT!

We hate having to cancel or postpone our park events because it impacts the money we raise to keep our park maintained, mulched and enjoyable.

For those new to the page or those who don’t actually know…the HDP is fully funded by donations and supported by a group of volunteers. We raise money at various small events and through community donations from people like you so that we can do things like install much needed mulch every year.

This holiday season, please consider a donation to the HORSHAM DOG PARK so we can continue to keep it one of the best FREE parks around.

Ugh. And just like that…. Santa and the Elves just had to make the difficult decision to cancel photos with Santa tomorrow due to the weather outlook.

We are so sorry for the late notice but we hope to try to plan more events sometime soon!!

Trust us when we say that we don’t love this decision as we always look forward to this event and raising much needed funds for our favorite park.

Attention, vendors! We have confirmed that the annual anniversary/Halloween party for the Horsham Dog Park will be Sunday, October 22!

The party consists of multiple vendors, a food truck option, a costume contest for dogs, 50-50 raffle, and a basket raffle - full of prizes from some of the best businesses and restaurants throughout Horsham! It is our biggest fundraiser of the year which helps to support the funding of the much needed wood carpet/mulch that is installed on the grounds each year.

For anyone who would be interested in being a vendor at this great event, please message us! Otherwise, if you have been a vendor in the last couple years, we’ll be in touch soon.

For anyone who might be interested in volunteering to participate or help out at the event, or possibly joining Horsham dog park board, please message us if you haven’t already, otherwise we will be in touch with you as well soon.

Thank you and please look forward to more details coming soon!

In 2021 the dog park won a grant and we finally had the chance to put it to good use to address some of the wet problem areas within the park grounds - aside from the mulch that was installed earlier in the spring, today two new trees were planted and the drainage around the fountains has been addressed thanks to the work of our friends at Holly Days Nursery, Garden Center, & Landscaping.
