We are so excited to be working on this project with the Frankenmuth Jayceess and hope to see you at our Paws for a Cause Event! Come splash in the Splash Pad with your pup and support a great cause of creating a new dog park!

🐾 PAWS FOR A CAUSE IS COMING TO FRANKENMUTH! 🐾

Earlier this summer, the Frankenmuth Jaycees asked the community to help us look toward the future of Hund Platz Dog Park by completing our Community Survey.

More than 90 people responded, sharing what they value about the park, what needs attention, and what improvements they would most like to see. Infrastructure, maintenance, safety, accessibility, and overall usability all emerged as important priorities.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who took the time to participate. Your feedback is helping guide conversations between the Frankenmuth Jaycees, the City of Frankenmuth, and the Hund Platz Committee as we determine what comes next.

Now, we are ready to begin the next phase.

💦🐶 Join us for PAWS FOR A CAUSE! 🐶💦

📅 Sunday, September 20
⏰ 1:00 to 3:00 PM
📍 Frankenmuth Jaycees Spray Park at Memorial Park

For one special afternoon, we are inviting the dogs to take over the Spray Park!

Bring your furry friends out for an afternoon of splashing, playing, treats, and dog friendly fun while helping us officially kick off our fundraising efforts for future improvements to Hund Platz.

🐾 FREE TO ATTEND
🐾 Suggested donation of $5 per dog
🐾 All donations directly benefit the Hund Platz project

We will also have information available about the project, along with some special treats and surprises thanks to local businesses and community partners.

We are still looking for businesses, organizations, and community members interested in helping make the event even better. Donations of dog treats, waste bags, bottled water, snacks, door prizes, gift certificates, dog related items, or other event contributions would all be greatly appreciated.

This event marks an exciting next step for Hund Platz. The community told us what matters. Now we are beginning the work of turning that feedback into action.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in the survey and everyone who has already helped move this project forward.

Now grab the leash, bring the pup, and come make a splash with us!
