Dog Park Almost Ready to Open!

4/18/2021

Comments

 
After more than 12 years of delays, fundraising, seeking approvals, and construction, Oakland's first dog park is almost ready to open! There are three key things to be aware of as the dog park is less than a month away from opening:
  • Planting Day
    • A planting day is scheduled for April 24th at 10am at the dog park site within Great Oak Park, Oakland, NJ. Volunteers are needed to help plant the remaining plants, pick up trash, and spread mulch in the planting areas. Please bring your own equipment and RSVP ahead of time so we are aware who is coming and who can bring what. You can RSVP by clicking here: https://forms.gle/fFTYq6h1jcYEyDGd7
  • Dog Park Registration
    • In order to use the dog park, residents and non-residents alike will need to register their dogs with the Borough of Oakland and pay a yearly fee. The money taken in through the fee will be used solely for upkeep of the dog park and for future additions and improvements as the years go on. Registration will be done through Community Pass (https://register.communitypass.net/OaklandBorough) though people without internet can also call the Recreation Office at 201-337-8111 ext.2068. The cost for Oakland residents is $10 per year per dog and is $20 per year per dog for non-residents. Dogs must be licensed in your municipality in order to use the Oakland dog park.
  • Dog Park Opening
    • The big opening is planned for May 8 at 1pm at the dog park site, with the rain date of May 9, also at 1pm. If the rain date is to be used, it will be announced on this website and on our social media. We have several speakers lined up as well. Please note that you MUST RSVP in order to attend the opening as we need an estimate of how many people will be coming due to COVID restrictions in place in New Jersey.
