Welcome to Lowell Unleashed!

Winter 2012 is HERE!

We look forward to seeing you at the park! WOOF!

The Dog Park is currently: OPEN

It’s winter and that means snow (or does it?!)

If there is a substantial snow storm the park maybe closed until it is plowed.

If you have a plow and want to volunteer to plow the park everyone would be very appreciative.

Please don’t forget to bring water for your pooch!

We hope to see you soon!! WOOF!

THANK YOU!
