The goal of the event is to bring the Old Oakland and Oakland dog owner community together to celebrate and publicize Oakland's newest tot lot and dog run. Mark your Calendars!!

This is a community and volunteer led event, with in-kind support from the City of Oakland, so please let me know if you're interested in volunteering. We will need help with setup, hosting duties during the event, and cleanup. More details to follow.
