[RP TownTalk] Friends of Waggertail Dog Park

[Jessica Barnes]

[Waggertail Logo.JPG]The Friends of Waggertail Dog Park (FoWDP) and their canines welcome all Riverdale Park and other Prince George's County residents who are dog lovers to our newly opened, off-leash dog park. The beautiful and spacious dog park was officially opened on July 25, 2016, and dedicated to the memory of the late Judy Glaes, long time Riverdale Park resident, and a true friend to dogs. Judy with a group of fellow residents, played a pivotal role in the founding of the dog park. To add to the celebration, and in support of the dog park, Unleashed by Petco in Hyattsville, donated dog bowls, toys, and treats to the new park.

Free registration of your dog is required to use the dog park. Register at the Riverdale Park Municipal Offices during business hours or register at the FoWDP table during Riverdale Park Day on October 1. You will need proof of residency in Prince George's County and your Prince George's County dog license.

Waggertail Dog Park is located at the end of 51st Avenue in front of the large baseball field. If you drive to the park, turn off Kenilworth Ave at River Road and enter the Riverdale Community Recreation Park at Haig Drive, where there is ample parking. Once you park, follow the sidewalk, that runs between the middle of the ball  fields, towards 51st Avenue. The dog park will be on your right past the tennis courts. There are two parking spaces on 51st Avenue, near the front gate of the dog park, that are reserved for persons with disabilities.

The large, grassy dog park has a fenced, lobby area containing gates opening into large and small dog areas. Features include a water fountain, large shade trees, comfortable benches and over 2 acres of space giving dogs and people plenty of room to get acquainted.

If you plan to use the dog park, the Friends of Waggertail Dog Park need your involvement to make the park run smoothly. FoWDP will act on behalf of all dog park users as a voice to the Town Government, making recommendations on improvements to the dog park and informing the Town of maintenance and other issues. We hope to plan events and create a greater feeling of community through our organization.

Come meet your fellow dog lovers and make a difference in your community by joining the FoWDP. If you are interested in being part of the pack, email waggertaildogpark at gmail.com<mailto:waggertaildogpark at gmail.com> to join the FoWDP.
