About this Event

You are invited to volunteer at our Spring Dog Parade at North Park Phase One. There will be water stations for the dogs and a cool down station for all! Organizations and community groups will be tabling on the meadow next to the dog parade walkway.

The dog parade will begin at 10 am and there will be organizations and businesses tabling and cheering on the dogs. There are three volunteer shifts; Set up (8:30 - 10:00), Event Support Shift (9:45-12:30), and a clean up shift (12:15-1:30).

You will be asked to sign a NYC Park activity waiver before volunteering in the program.

Accessibility: There is a parking lot with handicapped parking spaces. North Park Phase One does have paved paths but there will be tabling on a meadow area. If you have any questions regarding accessibility please reach out to us!

Plan Ahead: Be “tick aware” and wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and insect repellant. Also wear a hat and bring water and a snack.
