Forecasts have us receiving between 5 to 8 inches overnight (Jan-6 – Jan-7).
The dog park parking lot will be CLOSED when we expect plowable snow (3+ inches) until the town has had a chance to plow it.
The park itself remains open, but there is no parking in the lot when the yellow chains are up

Many thanks to the Chelmsford Decorating Committee for sponsoring the Santa on the common during the Holiday Prelude. As our contribution to the community, Donna Parlee took the pictures of kids, adults and pets with Santa and we have posted the full-quality digital images in our gallery.

The lost & found mailbox has gotten rather full lately. Accordingly, we will be cleaning out the mailbox by Wednesday (Dec 1). All of the contents will be placed in a box in the shed — any CDA board member can bring the box out if you think you need to look for something.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Chelmsford Dog Association, participated in our events and otherwise contributed to the success of the CDA and the Chelmsford Dog Park!
As December rolls in, we enter the quiet time (in terms of activities) in the CDA schedule.
The park itself ALWAYS needs the volunteers, and we’ll keep on top of the maintenance during the winter months.

The CDA has teamed up with the American Red Cross to sponsor a blood drive on November 26, at the American legion, Post 133 in North Chelmsford (on rt 40, next to Freeman Lake).
Come support the community and beyond by donating blood.

Howl’ween 2021 is coming up at the Chelmsford Dog Park, on October 23rd – 11am-2pm!

In addition to plans for food, raffles, silent auctions and games, check out the Vendors and Organizations who have signed up to be present.

We have opened an online store!

Using Printful (on demand printed merchandise) and our Square account, we have arranged for CDA and CDP “merch” to be purchased online and delivered right to your door!   Now you don’t have to wait for a CDA event to get that Chelmsford Dog Park T-shirt, or worry about us being sold out of the size or color that you want.

We are planning a work-party to do autumn cleanup and pre-winter maintenance on the park – On Saturday, October 2, from 8am till 12pm.
The park will be CLOSED for normal usage during this work-party, but volunteers can bring their dogs to hang out in the training area while we humans make the park nice for them (and us). 

The CDA is hosting a PetCPR+ Certification course from Pet Emergency Education on September 18, 2021 [Rescheduled date!!] at the Chelmsford Community Center at North Town Hall!
Registration is $69.95 and many of the class spots are already filled so book soon to get your spot in the remaining space!

The brick order last year was delayed because of the pandemic, and then the early snow and odd winter weather — and then continued weather patterns into the spring — delayed the installation. However, the bricks are now installed!  Many thanks to Matt Kohl for doing the brick laying.
