Support the Park: Donations, Sponsors & Fence Signs

A dollar a visit keeps the gates open

The park is free, and we will never charge a mandatory fee. Running it is not free, though: lawn care, electric, the port-a-john, and more are paid for by donations and our annual fundraiser, and right now those do not quite cover it.

Ways to give

Drop $1 in the barrel by the exit after each visit. That is the whole ask.
Mail a check to cover your visits for any period: Wantage Dog Park

Sussex, NJ 07461
Sponsor a fence sign or buy the hat. Order forms are just below.

True story: after a 3-day weekend of perfect weather and a full parking lot one spring, total donations were $4. Your dollar matters.

We are a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization with NJ State incorporation. On behalf of our dogs: THANK YOU!

The park's entrance sign: a public facility funded fully by you, our visitors — The sign at the entrance says it best.
