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). 

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.

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!

We have opened an online store!

The CDA is working on adding additional, permanent benches to the park! Each bench costs $1200 and people can sponsor an entire bench or contribute a smaller amount which will be pooled together for benches.

Spring is here and it’s the best time for hiking.

I recommend the Lowell/Dracut/Tyngsboro State Forest, a beautiful spot to hike for people of all abilities. Well-behaved dogs are allowed off leash here. This is a massive place, so take care if you decide to let your dog explore off leash
