Canine Corner: Pompano Beach’s New Dog Park

August 17th, 2010 by Terri Rittenhouse

Who let the dogs out??? 

 

Canine Corner in Pompano Beach is the perfect place for you and your best friend to play or just hang out! 

 

Your dog wants to go out and play! What a great spot for dogs to run, play, meet, new friends and just let it all hang out.  This new park opened just a few weeks ago in June and is located at 1101 North Federal Highway, in Pompano Park. 

 

 

Let’s face it, Pompano Beach has become a big city, and the city needed a dog park.  Well, 2 very determined residents made that dream a reality for our dog owners to enjoy.  The Dog Pack of Pompano Beach, Inc. is headed up by Brian Doyle and Lisa Hamburg.  Together they have not only provided dogs a pet friendly spot to play, but they are continuing in their commitment to educate and improve relations between dogs and city folk.  They’ve put together a great website for you to get more information, education and to join in with other area dog lovers to make a difference.

Check out the website:  http://www.pompanodogpark.com/Home_Page.php   You will find dog park etiquette classes (they’re free), obedience courses and much more!  Join the The Dog Pack, see the Fallen Angels, you can even make a tax deducible donation with the Buy-A-Brick fund raiser.  Starting at just $50.00 you can personalize a brick and help fund the park and future pet friendly projects for Pompano Beach. 

Thanks to dedicated residents like Brian and Lisa, Pompano Beach just keeps getting better and better.  Its a great place to live.
