Join us to Celebrate the Dedication of our New Water Fountain

The Canine Council of Morley field will hold a dedication ceremony celebrating Morley Field's new dog fountain at the dog park on April 26, 2008 at 10 am.

After two years of fundraising, the Canine Council of Morley field is celebrating the installation of a new water fountain for dogs. The dedication ceremony will take place on Saturday April 26, 2008 from 10 - 11 am at the Morley Field Dog Park. Food and drinks will be served along with treats and activities for the dogs. Donations for memberships, t-shirts, and hats will be accepted as well.

For many years dogs went thirsty when they played at Morley Field unless their owners thought to bring water with them. Lack of water was especially a problem during the hot summer months as dogs easily overheated and become dehydrated. The Canine Council decided to rectify this situation by raising money to install a water fountain.

With the support of the local community, Toni Akin's office & Jeffery Tom, Friends of Balboa Park, and the Balboa Parks and Recreations Department, the Canine Council was able to raise the $12,000 necessary to purchase and install a water fountain. The dedication ceremony celebrates this wonderful community gift to the thirsty dogs at the park.

Informal Board Meetings : The board informally each week at the Morley Field dog park at 7:30 am. Everyone is invited and is encouraged to attend to discuss upcoming events, projects, goals and hurdles.
