The Kennebunk Dog Park is sponsored by the
Animal Welfare Society and operated by the
Kennebunk Dog Park Committee.
Have Fun, Be Safe!
Come Play!
Get Involved!
The Kennebunk Dog Park is a fun place for dogs
and owners alike. The park provides a safe,
fenced, natural environment where dogs can
exercise and socialize off-leash. We welcome
residents and visitors throughout the year. The
park is free and open every day from dawn to dusk.
The following rules apply for the pleasure,
safety, and enjoyment of owners and their
dogs at the Park.
Operation of the Kennebunk Dog Park is totally
dependent upon voluntary contribution of goods,
services and money. Ongoing expenses include such
items as fence repairs, office costs, equipment and
other supplies. A Kennebunk Dog Park Fund has
been established at the Animal Welfare Society, a
non-profit organization, specifically to help cover
these costs. We welcome any support you can
provide to help our park. If you would like your
contribution to go towards a specific project or
item, such as a memorial bench or special
equipment, please include a letter with your
donation indicating your wishes.
Our park was built thanks to a generous financial
gift to the Animal Welfare Society (AWS) of
West Kennebunk in 2004. The AWS invited the
community to get involved and an enthusiastic
group of dog lovers soon began laying the plans.
The town of Kennebunk graciously allocated a site
on Sea Road for the park, and the all-volunteer
Committee prepared and fenced in the grounds.
We continue to manage the park by coordinating
administrative matters, maintaining the grounds,
sponsoring events, and raising funds. The
Committee welcomes anyone interested in
participating to contact us.
