Bark in the Park

Out of respect for those affected by the recent landslides, and to ensure the event can be delivered to a high standard, Bark in the Park will now take place on Saturday 11 April.

Bark in the Park is a dog-friendly event run by our Animal Services team. Join the team at Memorial Park to connect with other dog owners and enjoy the morning out as a family.

There will be educational booths to learn about microchipping and the best places to walk your dog around Tauranga, live music, agility demonstrations, food and drink trucks, dog play areas, giveaways, prizes and more!
