Pets and People Woof it Up | WESTCHASE DISTRICT

Sneed Dog Park officially opened next to Sneed Elementary School’s playground on Pagewood Lane. A large, enthusiastic crowd of people and furry friends attended a Grand Opening Celebration on a mild Saturday morning, February 27. The fun included a ribbon cutting, pet family portraits, a doggy costume contest and a doggy tricks contest. Westchase District board chair Harry Greenblatt served as emcee for the festivities.

Family of four: guests for the grand opening of Sneed Dog Park took selfies with their furry family members.
