Official Groundbreaking of the City Bark Dog Park

Officials from City Park and New Orleans Councilwoman Shelley Midura joined City Bark board members, donors and community supporters in celebrating the official Groundbreaking of the City Bark dog park, May 5th. Board members and their dogs second-lined around the park site. While guests enjoyed bone-shaped cookies and water, the four-legged attendees gobbled down dog biscuits and water. NOCCA’s music ensemble provided live entertainment and second-line music. City Bark is scheduled to open later this year.
