Join us as we start a new yearly tradition!
The Barkyard will be in the Buffalo Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, come out and show your Irish pride!
Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
March 13th, 2010April Stools Day 2010
February 27th, 2010
It’s time for some Spring cleaning, so we’re looking forward to seeing some friendly volunteers willing help us out. This year, cleanup will take place on April 11, at 10:00 a.m.
As we did last year, join us at The Barkyard at LaSalle Park, bring some plastic bags, your scooper or shovel, and help us keep the park a safe and enjoyable place for dogs and humans alike.
Your kindness will be rewarded with slobbery kisses, wet noses, and perhaps some coffee and donuts!

Park Construction: Water Lines
November 7th, 2009As you may have noticed, there is construction taking place in both sides of the Barkyard. We are very excited to report that the Buffalo Water Authority (managed by American Water) is installing water lines for fountains which are expected to be in place before Summer 2010.
Work is taking place as weather permits, so we can not predict when either (or both) areas of the Barkyard may need to be temporarily closed. We appreciate your patience, and ask that you pardon any inconvenience (and mess) while these improvements are in progress.
Back to Stool
September 16th, 2009
Join us at The Barkyard, Sunday, September 27th at 10 a.m. for our “Back to Stool” Fall cleanup. We will be performing general grounds maintenance (picking up poop, removing litter, etc.), as well as tending to the trees. If you can, please bring some of the following supplies: shovels, trash bags, mallets for stake hammering, etc.
As in the past, your kindness will be rewarded with sloppy kisses, wet noses, and maybe even some coffee and donuts!
If you have questions, or would like to learn about other ways to help The Barkyard, send an e-mail to volunteer@thebarkyard.org.
