Why Dog Parks
Mission:
The Carlisle Area Dog Parks Association (CADPA) is a group of local citizens whose goal is to create a network of dog parks in South Central Pennsylvania, beginning with Carlisle, PA. It is our goal to raise the funds needed to construct and maintain these parks.

Purpose:
A dog park is not simply a park for dogs, it is a park for people. It is a place where people can meet and share their love of dogs. A dog park provides a safe, fenced-in area for people to legally exercise their dogs off leash, and enjoy the company of other dog owners. Research shows that both dog owners and their canine companions are happier and healthier in communities that have dog parks.
