Saturday’s Bark in the Park event at Windmill Island Gardens will feature all kinds of activities for your dog, including doggy bags, a chance to test their agility skills, and booths from local veterinarians, groomers and trainers.
Windmill Island Gardens welcomes back the popular Bark in the Park event for a fourth year in a row this Saturday.
The event takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dogs, dog owners, and dog lovers alike are all invited to visit Windmill Island Gardens to not only enjoy the beautiful summer scenery, but to learn about all the best places in town to bring your pup as well.
More than 25 booths will be set up by local animal hospitals, groomers, trainers, accessory crafters, treat bakeries, and so much more, with Michigan State University’s famous Zeke the Wonderdog and friends who will be demonstrating tricks and agility skills all throughout the event, and a special visit from the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
Attendees and their dogs can pick up their welcome ‘doggy bag’ full of goodies and surprises from event sponsors, test their pup’s agility skills, splash in some sprinklers, get a free caricature drawn, and even get a free frozen treat courtesy of the Holland Police Department’s Polar Patrol from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees who bring their furry friends along will also have the chance to get free digital download professional portrait of their dog taken by a professional local photographer.
Regular park admission rates of $13 for adults and $6 for ages 3-15 will be in effect during Bark in the Park. Guests under the age of 3, all dogs, and Holland residents with proof of residency enter the park free.
All park attractions will be open during the event including the de Zwaan windmill, carousel, street organ, and gift shop. Please note, dogs cannot enter the windmill or the gift shop, and they must remain on leashes for the duration of the event.
Bark in the Park could not be put on without the help of its generous presenting sponsor, Paws in the City.
“We have enjoyed watching this event grow and attract more vendors and visitors each year,” Paws in the City owner Tracy VanOpstall said. “We can’t wait to see you and your dog at Windmill Island. This year is sure to be another fun-filled day.”
