Thank you Independence Fire and EMS Dept!

It is very important that you go into the fenced area with your dog and make sure they do not dig under the fences. Other dog owners appreciate not having to chase their dogs or protect them from bigger dogs, as we received a complaint. Additionally, the Dog Park is not liable for any incidents. Please revisit the Dog Park rules as all the above are listed. Thank you.

Some more work was completed today. I’d advise you to skip the dog park today unless you want a muddy pup! Haha

Who would be interested in helping finish up a small pathway in the big dog section? This will be just a little forming up and then place the chat down. Send us a message or comment if you’d be able to help one of the next few weekends. Thank you!

The small dog section is now open for use.👍🏻 Thank you for your patience.

The rock pad on the small dog side still needs to set up. This side will be closed until further notice. Thank you.

*Attention*
This Friday evening through Saturday evening the small dog section will be closed for use. We will be completing some maintenance items that needed addressed. Small dog users are welcome to use the big dog section.
Thank you, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Construction is underway, please stay clear of the Dog Park while work is being completed. Thank you!

Whew! I think we finally got through that intense heat wave. We will be getting back to work on the Dog Park over the next few weeks so please use caution. We plan to not close the Dog Park during this construction phase but will need all of your patience while things may be a little out of place. Thank you

We have been hearing complaints that some dog park users are not cleaning up after their furry friends. It’s very important to the health of all of the dogs that use the dog park that it’s kept clean.
We love seeing all of you take advantage of the FREE dog park but you must be responsible for cleaning up after your dog.
If people notice users not being responsible please private message us with a description of the person, dog, and vehicle they’re driving.
Most of you are doing great but as expected there are a few that aren’t. Thanks for your understanding in trying to keep our dogs healthy.

Wow! With the collection of the plastic caps we were looking for 1 bench, we were able to have 3 produced! That’s amazing! The grand total came in at 899lbs. Thanks to the Greenbush Lego group and all that participated in the collection of the caps for our new benches.😁

The dog bag stations have been refilled. Thanks to all of you for keeping the park clean.

If anyone wants to go and promote the Independence Dog Park at the Old Settlers Day Parade in Elk City by bringing your dog and walking in the Parade on September 9th at 10a.m., line ups at 9:30, Please contact Amber at 620-627-2317 before September 8th. If anyone is willing to go in addition to contacting Amber please reply, so that we can help provide a sign for the parade.

In addition, more construction to the dog park is set to take place at the end of the month.

Does your dog like to play in the rain, or scared to get their paws wet?

Recently one of our park goers emailed in about a pipe poking out of the ground. It was indeed a hazard and the pipe has been removed.
We of course scanned the area before the opening of the dog park but as we use the property things may become unearthed. The dog park once had mobile homes situated on the lot so it's possible more items may show up. If you see any hazards that need taking care of such as the protruding pipe please email us or you may message us here.

I'd also like to thank all of the dog park users for being responsible and cleaning up after their dogs. I was out there Friday and didn't see anything left behind. Thanks for keeping the park clean!🐶

For all of you helping team "innovation" collect the bottle caps for their team project next Saturday, July 8, will be the deadline. You can take your caps to the city recycling day on July 8 or drop off at any time at the Greenbush Office at 108 W Myrtle.
You all have done awesome with the collection of the plastic caps! Thank you so much for contributing to the project!

Remember to please clean up after your dog and follow these rules to help keep everyone safe and happy!
