Shelby Township is excited to announce the opening of its second Bark Park, now located at the Shelby Township Community Park. This new addition offers even more space for dogs and their humans to play, socialize, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and welcoming environment. A life size fiberglass St Bernard welcomes vistores enteriong the park. His name is “Roberto” and he grew up in Shelby on a farm.
The new Bark Park is located in between the two baseball fields with benches, waste disposal stations, and easy access parking. Dog friendly watering fountain is located by the playground facility. Its location within Shelby Township Community Park makes it especially convenient for families already enjoying the park’s recreational sports fields, playgrounds, and picnic areas.
“Our first Bark Park was met with an enthusiastic response, and we’re proud to now provide a second location for the community to enjoy,” said Shelby Township Supervisor Richard Raffaelli. “The Shelby Township Community Park is already a hub for family activity, and this new dog park further enhances the experience for all members of the family—including the four-legged ones.”
The second Bark Park is part of the Township’s broader vision to foster community, outdoor activity, and quality of life for residents across Oceana County with a focus on Shelby Townhip and Village residents.
