Community Invited to Enjoy a “Pawsome” Day Out at Bark in the Park

Community Invited to Enjoy a “Pawsome” Day Out at Bark in the Park

The local community is being invited to come together later this month for a tail-wagging celebration of man’s best friend, with the return of Bark in the Park at Springfield Central.

Hosted by Jordan MP Charis Mullen, the free, family-friendly event will take place on Sunday, 24 May at Robelle Domain, promising a fun-filled morning for both pets and their owners.

Ms Mullen said the event is all about celebrating the important role pets play in people’s lives while bringing the community together.

“Our dogs are part of the family, so it’s only fitting they have a special day out just for them,” she said.

“Bark in the Park is a great opportunity to connect with others, celebrate our pets, and enjoy everything that makes our community so vibrant.”

The event will also support a worthy cause, with Empower Assistance Dogs fundraising on the day to continue their work training assistance dogs for people in need.

“They’ll be hosting a spin-the-wheel with fantastic prizes, and every dollar raised will go towards their life-changing programs,” Ms Mullen said.

Attendees can look forward to a wide range of activities, including a red carpet “puparazzi” experience, a best dressed competition, and free professional pet portrait photography.

There will also be agility demonstrations from talented local dogs, along with plenty of family-friendly entertainment such as face painting, paw print artwork, and bandana making.

Local businesses and organisations will be on site with stalls offering advice, products, and services to support pet health and wellbeing.

Food and coffee will be available, while the Goodna Redbank Plains Girl Guides will host a sausage sizzle, with proceeds supporting their group.

Ms Mullen said the event wouldn’t be possible without the support of local businesses, volunteers, and community groups.

“It’s shaping up to be a fantastic morning of fun, connection, and celebration for our whole community,” she said.
