PERMIT RENEWALS:
All 2010 permits that were not renewed have been deactivated. Note: If you purchased your card after October 31, 2010, it is good for 2011. New permits and permit renewals are still only $35 and are valid through December 31, 2011. We accept cash, check or credit card.
Permits may be renewed by mailing or bringing the permit form to our office at #1 Palm Drive, NOLA 70124. The dog park office is open 8AM-5PM, M - F. You will keep your existing 2010 entry card and it will be activated for 2011 upon renewal.
Please help keep the permit fee low and prevent "gate crashers." Do not admit persons who do not have permit cards or who show a card that does not activate the gate release into the park. Remind them that they need to send in a renewal form and pay the $35 fee for 2011.
If someone has renewed for 2011 and is having trouble with the card card, they should come to the dog park office or call 483-9377 for assistance during business hours.
LASPCA - Flyball Training Course
Flyball is coming to the LASPCA in March. Flyball is all about fun for you and your dog. The eight-week class, taught by Melissa Ellis, is designed to teach the basics of the sport of Flyball.
Course Dates: Saturday - March 12th from 9am - 10:30am & March 12th from 10:30am - Noon
Flyball is a dog sport in which teams of dogs race against each other from a start/finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the pring loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball.
