The grand opening ceremony for the new and highly anticipated dog park in Waretown will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, and all are welcome. The dog park is located near the Waretown Lake, at 182 Wells Mills Rd.

The dog park, just over 1 acre in size, is the first in the township. The park features a double-gate entry into two separately fenced areas for large and small dogs. There is a waste bag dispenser as well as trash bins throughout the park.
