From your dog-loving friends at the Wakefield Town Hall:

The Town of Wakefield would like to welcome the canine public and their human companions to the grand re-opening of the Wakefield Dog Park located at 667 Main Street on Saturday at noon. There will be a ribbon cutting as well as light refreshments. The park has recently undergone a renovation to include dog and human friendly water stations, benches and friendlier turf.

"We are excited to see this park become a reality for Wakefield Citizens" said Peter May of the Wakefield Board of Selectman.

The park was initially created in the Fall of 2016 and has undergone several upgrades and feature enhancements since opening as resident feedback came in.

With increased usage, positive feedback and help from the Department of Public Works, we were able to resurface the entire park and make it an even better resource for our canine public and their human companions.
