"Buy A Brick" Campaign
We will be building a brick walkway near the entrance of the dog park (after the fence
is up) with personally engraved bricks. To purchase bricks, see column on the left for forms. Horsham
Veterinary Hospital and Pabby's Pet Pantry also have a supply of order forms.

We have the land. Now all we need
to do is raise the money for the fence. Please donate to help make this happen. Thank you!
Your donation is tax deductible. We
are a registered 501 (c)(3) corporation.

are willing to abide by the park’s rules and restrictions.

Please Sign Our Guestbook.
We would like to hear from you.
 
Guestbook:
Sign the Guest book and indicate if you would like to be a core
group member. A core group member is someone who supports our efforts to establish the park, such
as helping at fundraisers. When at the dog park tells others the etiquette of the park (rules) if
you see those who do not understand. This may seem a small job, but is essential to the longevity
of a clean friendly dog park. Thank you for considering to be involved.

History:
Horsham Township Council Meeting of August 9, 2006 Results:
We were given 2 years to raise the funds to build a fenced area for dogs to play. The location is at the back
of Kohler Park past the pond and small playground. 1 1/2 acres is allotted for our use.
The Horsham Parks &
Recreation Survey (asking what residents would like to see in our parks) from 2002 results showed a strong interest
in having a dog park in Horsham. We made the top 10 choices - actually as #7. Petitions have been signed by hundreds
of Horsham residents wanting a dog park here.
