ONGOING EVENTS from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM:
The Bark Yard, a Pop-Up, Off-Leash Dog Park:

- If your dog is up to date on their vaccinations/titers (according to your vet’s recommendation), is not displaying any symptoms of illness, is not “in heat” and does not/has not displayed aggressive behaviour, he/she is welcome to attend.
- All dog owners must supervise their dog at all times – you can’t leave him/her in the play area and take a look at the booths.
- Each dog owner is responsible for picking up after their dog if necessary, and intervening if there are any behavioural issues. You may be asked to remove your dog from the event if there are conflicts between your dog and other people/dogs.
- The number of dogs inside the Bark Yard at one time will be limited.

Bobbing for Hot Dogs:
- Activity Ticket Required
- A version of “bobbing for apples” for Fido. See if your dog can nab those hot dog pieces out of the water! Did you know that hot dogs do NOT float? Start practicing now with your pooch so they can dive for those delicious snacks!
