Yappy Hour is a weekly one hour program that takes place on the beautiful green grass of the lower softball field at Posse Grounds Park.  This is a special occasion, as City Code and Park Rules state dogs are not allowed on the athletic fields and require all dogs to be on a leash while at the park. Take advantage of allowing your dogs to run free off leash and frolic and play with other pooches.

Know before you go:

• If there is an increase in the amount of off-leash users on the athletic fields during non-event times, this event may be canceled.
• Please do not arrive prior to start time.
  • Participants will not be allowed on the field until program start time.
• Owners must pick up after their pets
  • Participants are strongly encouraged to pick up after ALL dogs to ensure that the impact of dog use on the sports field is managed.
• Dog toys or other equipment are not permitted.
• If field is too wet from inclement weather, program will be moved to dog park for the week.
• Owners are responsible for the safety and behavior of their dogs.
