The city of Carpinteria and the Carpinteria Dog Owners Group invite local residents and their canine friends to the Second Annual Dog Day Afternoon, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at the north end of Monte Vista Park on Bailard Avenue.
The free event offers dog lovers an afternoon of fun and an opportunity to help shape the future of the dog park design plans.
Attendees can preview and comment on preliminary plans for a permanent off-leash dog park at Monte Vista. City staff will be available to facilitate design voting, collect feedback, and answer questions.
All planning materials will also be available online after the event at carpinteriaca.gov/dogparkfeedback.
Free hot dogs will be served starting at noon, while supplies last, courtesy of Penelope’s Sno Balls and the Carpinteria Dog Owners Group.
