The City of Sisters invites the community to a ribbon-cutting celebration for the new off-leash dog park located at Sisters Gateway Park and Mobility Hub on Friday, September 11, at 11:00 a.m.

The event will take place at the new park, located at 875 West Sisters Park Drive.

The 1/4-acre off-leash dog park includes a seasonal drinking fountain with built-in dog dish, picnic tables, waste bag dispenser and receptacle, and is designed to offer a contained location for dogs to enjoy being off leash. Future amenities including bulletin board and stick library are anticipated.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will feature remarks from the Mayor, City Councilors, and project members followed by a tour of the new facility.

"A public off-leash dog park has long been an amenity requested by community members. Thanks to the work of city staff, Council and the Parks Advisory Board, I'm excited we could create a dog park at this central location, "said Mayor Jennifer Letz. "I look forward to many years of safe enjoyment by residents, visitors and their canine companions.”

The public is encouraged to attend and celebrate this new amenity for the Sisters community.
