What is Pelican Bark Park

Our mission is to contribute to the health and well-being of people and domestic dogs through advocating for the inclusion, design, construction, maintenance and safe operation of enclosed, off-leash recreation areas in Mandeville and greater St. Tammany Parish.

The Pelican Bark Park Committee, partnering with the Friends of Pelican Park, is formed to establish off-leash recreation in Recreation District #1 of Pelican Park. The committee is comprised of ten committee members and hundreds of community supporters. Ask us how to get involved! email doggiebarkpark@yahoo.com

The Pelican Bark Park Committee plans to establish a dog park within the confines of Pelican Park, thanks to the support of Director Kathy Foley and the Pelican Park Board of Directors. The PBPC will be the full funding organization for design, construction, maintenance and operations.

Park features include:
• Fencing (with double-gated entries and maintenance gates)
• Water
• Signs
• Wheelchair accessibility
• Benches
• Parking
• Shade Structure
• Irrigation system
• Electric capacity

Build support for the dog park & raise funds electronically at Policypitch.com! PolicyPitch allows groups to gather resources for community action. In fact, we already have a petition for a smaller dogpark in New Orleans. Please email me at zach@policypitch.com if you have any questions!
