Biddeford Dog Park

 We are pleased to announce that the Biddeford Animal Hospital has given the "Top Dog Donation Level" for the Biddeford Dog Park.  This will allow the Dog Park to open in the near future!  As more details come available we will update this page.  Feel free to also follow along with the progress on the Biddeford Dog Park Facebook page.

The effort to build a dog park in Biddeford is underway.  Be sure to click on the logo below to get directed to the dog park website!

In November of 2008 a public meeting was held by the Recreation Department to determine interest in such a park for the area. Approximately 30 people attended and as a result a group was formed to create an action plan. Fellow dog lovers worked consistently to present a plan to the Recreation Commission and City Council. As a result of these efforts an ordinance was passed in April giving the group the go ahead to create such a park. The city agreed to provide the space however the community would have to raise the funds to build and maintain the park. A site was chosen within Rotary Park and efforts are being made to fund the park.

The effort has also received the support of the Animal Welfare Society. They have acted as a resource to the group providing helpful information not only to the group but the City Council as well. The AWS has also agreed to act as fiscal agent for the dog park creating an account to manage the funding. The group is hopeful through the kindness and generously of local residents and businesses, they will be able to see this effort come to fruition and provide a safe and healthy place for pets and their owners here in Biddeford.  For more information be sure to click on the dog park logo to be transferred to the AWS website.
