Bark in the Park
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all guests, both two-legged and four-legged, all dog owners are required to complete a Bark at the Park waiver prior to entry. The waiver helps confirm that each dog attending is up to date on vaccinations, is well-socialized in public settings, and that owners understand and accept responsibility for their pet throughout the event. These waivers can be filled out HERE prior to the game, or on site at the registration table. WAIVERS WILL NEED TO BE PRINTED OUT AND BROUGHT TO THE GAME!Â
Requiring waivers allows us to create a fun, family-friendly environment while prioritizing the health, safety, and comfort of everyone at the ballpark. We appreciate your cooperation in helping make Bark at the Park a safe and paw-sitive experience for all!
