5 Best Dog Park Events in 2023
-
Dog Olympics
There is nothing more fun for dogs than playing on agility equipment if your apartment has it. So, why not hold an agility contest to determine who is the best? Provide your residents with ample opportunity to practice with their dogs and then schedule a time for them to demonstrate their skills.
There is no need for the judges to be very serious when judging the agility contest - consider awarding medals for categories such as Enthusiastic, Creative, and Distracted. It would be even more fun if you gave a medal to a dog that is unable to hold it!

Fashion Show
It is a wonderful idea to fundraise for a dog park through a doggie fashion show. Organizing a dog fashion show can be accomplished either by finding a venue with a runway or setting up your runway. It might be fun to charge dog owners and let them choose from categories like:
-
The most stylish outfit
-
Best costume
-
Best owner-dog matchup
Consider inviting local celebrities or fashion experts to judge and give prizes like accessories for dogs or grooming services for pets. For added fun, have a photo booth where people can take photos with their pets.
-
Dog Photo Contest
This is an innovative method of involving pet owners in the support of a dog park. Engage pet owners with photo contests using themes such as cutest dog, funniest pet, and best trick. The contest should require participants to pay an entry fee and promote social media sharing.
Consider partnering with local businesses or websites that are dedicated to dogs to promote your contest.
Consider having celebrity judges or asking the public to vote for the best photograph to create a buzz around the contest. Social media can be used to announce the winners and award prizes related to pets.

Doggie Fun Run
There is no better way for dog owners and their pets to exercise than to participate in a doggie fun run. A scenic trail or a local park can be a great place to hold an event. The course map must be created and the necessary permits must be obtained to organize this event.
The course can be offered at a fee and participants can be awarded incentives for completing the course such as doggie bandanas, water bottles, or medals. You may want to invite local businesses to sponsor the event by contributing money or products.
If you wish to make it more fun, you can divide the dogs into different categories depending on their size, age, or breed. Another possibility would be to set up a booth for vendors selling pet-related products or a photo booth.

Pool Party
There is usually a sign stating that dogs are not permitted in apartment communities with pools. Nevertheless, there is one glorious day in the year when all that may change. Before pools are drained or routine maintenance is done, dogs are allowed at many municipal pools.
The same can be said for apartment communities! It is particularly important even for dog parks without swimming pools. Invite your doggy residents to take a dip in the community's seasonal pool the day before closing. The event will be a highlight of the year for pet parents!
For an extra enjoyable time, provide your dog with a variety of water-resistant toys and balls. Advising pet owners to bathe their dogs after swimming in chlorinated water is a good idea to maintain healthy skin on their pets.
