Bend dog park clean-up days scheduled
Get the scoop! For several days in May and June, dog park users are invited to volunteer at clean-up events in Bend’s off leash areas.
Hosted by local off-leash advocacy group, DogPAC, in conjunction with Bend Park & Recreation District and various groups that have adopted the off leash areas, “Dog Park Clean-up Days” offer dog park users an opportunity to help care for the spaces they enjoy.
The seasonal clean-up effort will be held six area dog parks. Participants will pick up dog poop, pull weeds and assist with spreading wood chips to help keep the dog parks enjoyable and safe for all users. Volunteers should bring their own gloves and water. Bags, tools and supplies will be provided.
