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!
