Laura & Peter Mossakowski Family Dog Park
What is the Laura & Peter Mossakowski Family Dog Park?
A place where our best friends have a place to run, roll around in mud, meet new four-legged friends, and catch a ball or a Frisbee.
A group of dedicated volunteer citizens worked tirelessly to create and operate a community dog park in the Village of Bellevue. Fundraising has been on-going since 2011 for the project and the park opened to rave reviews in June 2017. Through a very generous donation from Laura and Peter Mossakowski, the Bellevue Dog Park has been named in their honor.
A non-profit charity has been created to raise funds for the initial park development, further build-out of facilities and amenities and maintenance. Visit the Bellevue Dog Park webpage for the latest details and how to donate. Donations will be needed for many years, even after the park is initially opened to complete implementation of the full master park plan.
Where is the Dog Park?
The dog park is located at 2282 Bellevue Street. This 22.5-acre park site is located just south of State HWY 172 along the banks of the East River. An approximate 6.5-acre section of the property has been developed as a dog park. The Village owns this property and has approved its use as a dog park for our community.
Annual passes are good from January 1 through December 31. $30 for one dog per household and $60 for two or more dogs in a household. Day passes are $3/dog per day.
