Bring your four-legged friends and join us as we celebrate the opening of the brand-new Yunker Farm Dog Park on Monday, October 6 from 4:00–6:00 pm! This new space was designed with dogs (and their humans) in mind, offering plenty of room to play, explore, and relax.

The park features three dedicated dog areas with fun play amenities, drinking fountains, small shade shelters, and improved drainage for a safe, enjoyable experience. Visitors can also enjoy a spacious 20’ x 24’ shelter with picnic tables, new landscaping, convenient parking, and lighting both in the lot and throughout each play area.

Whether your pup is ready to explore or you’re just looking for a new spot to connect with fellow dog lovers, Yunker Farm Dog Park is the place to be. Come out, explore, and celebrate this new addition to the community!
