Something to HOWL
about!

a safe place to run your dog?

Wish there were other dogs for your dog to play with?
Like hanging out with friendly, dog-loving people?
We
can't wait for you and your dog to have some fun at Howlabaloo
Dog Park!
At Howlabaloo
you can catch a breath of fresh country air, get some exercise
with a walk in the woods, or refresh yourself along the streams
and ponds. Be sure to take in the great country vistas too.
You can get to know other folks who love dogs, have some fun
playing with your dogs, or simply enjoy watching dogs play.
Howlabaloo Dog Park is Northwest Pennsylvania's first and
largest off-leash
dog park, designed specifically for dog owners and their canine
companions!

and The Shindig — open play areas

Outdoor Stage
The Hubbub
You and your dog will enjoy vast open spaces and rolling hills
to bound about, five sparkling creeks to wade through and five
ponds to doggy paddle in, three trails to voyage and lots of
trees with shade to soothe under.
So bustle on down to the park, join in the hoopla and have a
shindig of a time!
To ensure the safety
and welfare of ALL our human and canine guests, a copy of
veterinarian records of the following
requirements are needed for entry:
Current:
Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella
Negative Fecal
Recommendations:
Due to the environment of the park, we highly recommend that
dogs be on a flea, tick, lyme, and canine influenza preventative program.
We strongly encourage you to speak with your veterinarian for
the best preventive treatment plan for your dog.
You are
responsible to keep your pet's requirements current. Any
canine 'out-of-date' on any requirement will be unable to use
the park.
Current rabies and dog license tags are to be
worn at ALL times. If you are from outside of Pennsylvania and
the county in which you reside does not require licensing, you
must provide a letter on county letterhead stating "no licensing
required."
Please call the park if you have any
questions.
