Past Events



GRAND OPENING January 15, 2011 The Ogunquit Dog Park officially opened this January 15, with a ribbon pulling ceremony and cake & cookies provided by Brownie’s Barkery. Cars were parked the entire length of Spring Hill Rd. with approximately 50 people and their dogs attending. Martin Crosby and Tony Maurno of the Ogunquit Dog Park Committee spoke about the Dog Park approval process and thanked many of the businesses and people who contributed to the Dog Park’s relatively quick completion. Tom Fortier, the Ogunquit Town Manager, and Donato Tramuto, Select Board Chairman, each spoke briefly, but were cut short by excited dogs barking to open the gate. At 12:10 PM, the yellow bow on the gate was pulled by Ruby, a 7-month old Wheaten Terrier, to officially open the park, and a snowy, fun time was had by all. The Dog Park is now open 7 AM to dusk, every day. See more pictures of the ODP Grand Opening here.
