COUNTY OFFICIALS INVITE PUBLIC TO GRAND OPENING OF FIRST OFFICIAL DOG PARK 

(PLACERVILLE, CA) – 

El Dorado County will officially open its first dog park Sunday, July 14^th at the Historical Railroad Park in El Dorado at 9:00am

The dog park provides separate areas for small dogs under 30lbs and large dogs over 30lbs, a shaded bench area, a doggie waste bag station, and will soon have a water fountain with dog bowl. 

The Grand Opening event will feature a ribbon cutting and remarks by officials and community members, county informational booths, pet adoption event (depending on Animal Services staffing availability), community group booths such as Friends of El Dorado Trail, and more. The Western Railroad excursion train will also be operating.
