It all started in 2018 with a group of people dog lovers talking on Facebook about the need for a dog park in York. Their conversation led to the creation of a Facebook group, where additional town residents and visitors voiced their support for the park. A small group of individuals from the group decided to meet and eventually formed a committee and went to work on putting their idea into motion.
Friends of York Dog Park is now a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization comprised of York residents with a mission to develop and maintain a community dog park that provides a safe and controlled environment where dogs and their owners can meet.
