Paws in the Park

Jacksonville, AL – Calling all dog lovers and their furry companions! Get ready to mark your calendars for the ultimate social event for pups – Paws in the Park! Hosted by the Jacksonville Parks and Recreation Department, this exciting gathering promises a day filled with fun activities, doggy Easter festivities, and plenty of outdoor adventure for our four-legged friends.

Paws in the Park will take place at the scenic Germania Springs Dog Park on Saturday, March 23rd, starting at 12:00 p.m. It’s the perfect opportunity to treat your canine companion to an unforgettable day out in nature, surrounded by fellow dog enthusiasts and their furry pals.

The highlight of the event? A thrilling doggy Easter Egg hunt that will have tails wagging with excitement! Watch as your pup sniffs out treats hidden throughout the park, providing an entertaining challenge that’s sure to delight dogs of all sizes and breeds.

Paws in the Park also features an Easter “best dressed” contest, where stylish pups can strut their stuff in their most adorable springtime attire. From bunny ears to floral collars, let your pup’s personality shine as they compete for the title of best-dressed Easter pooch.

After the festivities, enjoy some free playtime in the dog park, allowing your furry friend to mingle, romp, and socialize with other dogs in a safe and supervised environment. It’s the perfect opportunity for dogs to burn off energy, make new friends, and revel in the joys of outdoor exploration.
