State-of-the-Art Dog Park Design

A Lot Has Changed in 28 years

While Ohlone Dog Park may have been the first off-leash dog park in the world, much has changed since the park first became an "experiment" in 1979. New materials and new features have brought a rapid evolution in dog park design.

The Ohlone Dog Park Association is sponsoring an expert panel on The State of the Art of Dog Park Design from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at the North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Ave. The event is free and open to the public. Brief overview of dog park design.
