Our Howloween Parade winners! You all were so cute, so creative and so wonderful. Thank you all for bringing good cheer to a slightly windy, definitely chilly day. We are all so grateful for a supportive, active community - we all had a great time at our Howloween event. And special thanks to Barbara Shufro Reilly and C Thomas Christiano as our guest judges (as well as roving photographer, Tom!). Of course, thank yous to our great vendors who rounded out the party and as always, had fun items too! Thank you all!!! 🎃👻🎃

Please be aware that work is continuing in the parking lot by the Chelmsford DPW. Use caution when entering, exiting and bringing your dog into our park. Remember all dogs should remain leashed until safely into the fenced in area of the park.
We are aware that construction is making parking complicated and appreciate patience as work continues.
We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about how long this work will continue. Thank you 🐾🐾

You’ve seen them, quietly walking the grounds, taking care of this and that. Surely you all have noticed Tom tirelessly mowing, Jacquie painstakingly w**ding, Jane working away as only Jane does. Lou gets down into whatever the moment needs and takes care of that on the spot quirk. Ed and his w**dwhacker skills are unmatched. Lisa with Buddy and Dobie pulling the bins that no one ever wants to touch. The list goes on and on - there are too many to call out individually (I am not purposefully leaving anyone out! Please forgive!). Most importantly take a moment to thank our volunteers! Running the Chelmsford Dog Park is a full time endeavor and all done by a team of dedicated volunteers. Not a single one gets paid to do this but through a possible moment where someone pulls one of us aside and says “Thank you!”
We can always use more volunteers - come see us on September 13 at our next meeting - bring your thoughts, ideas and thank yous.

Huge shout out to the Town of Chelmsford, Chelmsford DPW and Stonybrook Landscaping for the much needed work out at the sidewalk and along the outside parking lot (area that faces the street). Looking so much better! For those who are wondering, none of this work was financed from donations- all by the Town of Chelmsford. We are grateful to have this space and every bit of support they have given us.
Extra thank you to the volunteers who gave their Saturday morning and afternoon (08/02) to the maintenance inside the park, including w**d whacking, mowing, hand w**ding and watering of the trees. Reminder that ongoing maintenance continues as needed, and a “Mowing Today” sign will be present on each entrance to ensure y’all know. Another round of maintenance is coming next weekend to include further spot needs. A reminder that no pesticides or herbicides are used anywhere in the park to ensure dog, human, and environmental safety.
Have thoughts, ideas, suggestions, concerns? Please send them along to any board member (Lisa Grasso, Tom Lucey Laramie Swinarski, Colin Schultz, Ed Hill, Phil Burke). Our next meeting is coming up soon, too!

Hi, all! Starting tomorrow and for the next few days you’ll see that part of the parking lot is restricted to allow for the landscapers to come in and work on the area that runs along the sidewalk (known to many as the swale). This is phase one where all of the overgrowth and w**ds are being cleared out. This should take a couple of days so please plan accordingly. All spots along the swale will be unavailable while the work is being completed. Thank you for your patience during this time.

We’re working on addressing the issues around the water bubblers in our park. Please have patience as the issues are diagnosed and hopefully corrected soon!

Hi all!
In our efforts to keep up with a great “growing” season where the green stuff just keeps growing… we have devised a quick solution. We will address areas as our small volunteer group can. To allow for everyone else’s schedules, we will simply close areas that are being addressed and move the dogs and owners to spaces where they can still run and not worry about lawn mowers, w**d whackers, noise etc. we are at the mercy of weather, volunteer availability and unpredictable growth. We appreciate your flexibility - we’re doing all we can to keep our park open, accessible and a safe space for all.
Have time to help out? Have suggestions? DM me or any other board member, and we’ll get back to you!
This sign will be present on the entrances on days when we’re doing spot work to keep things pretty, btw! See ya at the park 🐾🐾🐾

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who participated in our Barkiversary celebration. It was a wonderful day filled with joy, and we appreciate each and every one of you. The Chelmsford Dog Park was started as an idea, a dream over a decade ago - this park itself is the result. From thoughts to plans to ground breaking - our park has become one of Chelmsford’s treasures.

Hello, all! Summer is here bringing much more activity here at our park. With the warmer weather we know it is paramount to keep our dogs (and ourselves) hydrated. And many have been using their own bowls to help get water to the pups as they play at the park. Thank you!
BUT…
Please do not leave bowls in the basins of the water features. Kennel cough is a common virus and can easily be spread via shared water bowls. Though many dogs are vaccinated some are not and we have heard that there are reported cases out there right now. First and foremost, if your dog has been diagnosed with (or even shows signs of) kennel cough, do not bring them to the park. Please reach out to your vet.
As a precautionary measure we ask that if you do bring a bowl to our park, please take it home when you leave. If bowls are left behind, of course we will collect them and place in lost and found for you.

Y’all know it’s been wicked hot out. We are so lucky to have a space to safely exercise our doggos Chelmsford Dog Park It’s tempting to keep them with us as we run quick errands etc so here’s a quick reminder of what the summer heat does to our cars when no cooling air conditioning is running. Dog or human, it is unsafe to leave them in the car for even a short trip to the store!
