City of Milford Dog Park Grand Opening on May 10

 On May 10, 2019, Mayor Benjamin G. Blake, former State Senator Gayle Slossberg, members of the Animal Shelter Commission, and city officials will host a grand opening for the Eisenhower Dog Park from 1:00pm-3:00pm.

The Eisenhower Dog Park, located to the northwest of Eisenhower Park, features more than an acre of space complete with a water fountain and waste disposal stations. The park will be open to all licensed dogs from dawn until dusk year round.

“The Eisenhower Dog Park is a community destination we can all be proud of and I’m thankful to the City employees who worked tirelessly to make this happen,” said Mayor Blake.

Blake added, “This park will serve as a gathering place for both two and four-legged visitors to relax and enjoy the calming backdrop of Eisenhower Park.”

Members of Milford’s Animal Shelter Commission are equally excited for the grand re-opening. “The new and improved Eisenhower Dog Park is a welcome addition to the community and we look forward to joining our neighbors and furry friends at both the grand opening and the park throughout the year,” said Milford Animal Shelter Commission members Susan Stanek and Karen Dorney.

Guests who visit the park are reminded of the following rules:

• Keep your dogs properly leashed while entering and exiting the park
• Cleaning up after your dog – filling any holes and properly disposing of waste
• Ensure your dog is licensed with the City of Milford, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered
