Join the Coastal Watershed Council, Woofpack and BirchBark Foundation for the Paws in the Park dog walking series. In it’s fifth year, the Paws in the Park series is organized to encourage people and pets to exercise at the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, a city park along the lower San Lorenzo River in downtown Santa Cruz.

Walks will occur on the fourth Sunday of each month June through August. The meeting location is along the Riverwalk at Gateway Plaza by PetSmart. Walks begin at 10:00 a.m. with rules, directions and free training advice from Woofpack. Participants walk a 1.5-mile loop around the Riverwalk at a leisurely pace. All dogs must be well behaved and on 6 foot leashes in compliance with park rules.

All attendees will receive a free “Be Your Pet’s Poop Fairy” bag courtesy of the City of Santa Cruz and the Coastal Watershed Council! Learn more:
