Spring clean-up set for Bend off-leash dog areas
Dog lovers and park users are invited to lend a hand at a community-wide spring cleanup event at all seven of Bend Park & Recreation District’s off-leash areas. Scheduled for Saturday, April 25 th , the annual “Dog Park Cleanup Day” is from 9:00 am to 12 noon.
The event is hosted by the district and several volunteer groups and families that have adopted the off-leash areas. The cleanup offers dog park users an opportunity to help care for the spaces they use and enjoy.
Participants will pick up dog poop, pull invasive weeds and remove rocks to help keep the dog parks enjoyable and safe for all users. Volunteers should bring their own gloves, shovel or scoop and water. Bags and some tools will be provided.
