Download the March for Parks "Year of the Dog" Flyer (.pdf file) for more detailed information. | |
At the 2010 March for Parks, we are showcasing our Twin Lakes Dog Park, which is planned to be constructed near the Peach Plaza Skate Park. In support of the dog park and to help fund it, we are encouraging dogs and dog owners to register for the March. This year's March has been dubbed "The Year of the Dog."
Prior to the event, marchers (and dogs) collect monetary contributions to support the March. Those marchers who collect $25 or more will receive a t-shirt. Dogs that collect $25 will receive a bandana. People or dogs that collect over $100 or more will receive a gift card to Wal-Mart. The more you raise, the higher denomination of the gift card will be.
Walkers, runners and dogs may participate as individuals or teams. Any group of three or more people or dogs can be a team. Organize your friends and family, your school, place of worship, or a community organization. Get your company involved. Complete the team information when you register to become eligible for the engraved plaques that will honor the top fundraising teams.
The money raised at past Marches has really started to make an impact in the community. Here are some recent projects for which March For Parks funds have been designated:
* Construction of Twin Lakes Park Expansion Phase I, including Peach Plaza Skate and Action Park, community garden improvements, and acquisition of 85 acres for future park expansion.
* Construction, planning, and acquisition of lands for the Coal and Coke and Westmoreland Heritage trails.
* Planning and engineering for Twin Lakes Park Expansion Phase II, to include an area for tubing and sledding, dog park, universally accessible playground, pavilions, a life trail for seniors and road and parking extensions.
This year marchers will have the opportunity to designate the funds they raise. Choices include: Walking & Biking Trails, Dog Park, Tubing and Sledding Runs, Wheelchair Acessible Playground, or Land Acquisition. Non-designated funds will be used where they are most needed.
DJ Dave Haering and Mike the Balloon Guy head the list of fun activities at the event. There will be a picnic lunch after the March including doggie treats for dogs, and the event will conclude with a door prize giveaway (including doggie prizes) and an awards presentation. Home Depot will also be sponsoring a kid's workshop at the event.
Registering online is the quickest way to sign up for the March. To receive a registration form by mail, call (724) 830-3950.
So lace up those walking shoes, get your dog's leash ready, and head to Twin Lakes Park on March 27, 2010 for the eighth annual March For Parks. The event is presented by the Westmoreland County Parks and Recreation Citizens Advisory Board. To receive a registration brochure call 724.830.3950.
