The Glen Rock Dog Park is almost ready to move to the next phase of development.
The idea of a dog park started as a Girl Scout Gold Award project in 2013 by Michelle Hillock. It has grown into a borough wide effort to get the dog park developed. The council approved the fundraising efforts of Michelle and Eileen Hillock to raise 100% of the funds needed to build and maintain the park. The area that is designated for the dog park is the undeveloped and under used area behind the recycling area and between Lower and upper faber field.
The Glen Rock Dog Park will be dedicated to the 9/11 Search and Rescue dogs in honor of their participation, tireless devotion and dedication in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.
“The Hero Dogs of 9/11 Legacy“
Their goal is to erase $100,000 to break ground. So far this year they have raised just over $10,000 with recent grants from TD Bank and PSE&G. The main costs outstanding are $65,000 for fencing and $30,000 for the crushed granite. If either is donated, they can break ground as soon as possible.

How can you help? There are several ways residents, interested people and businesses can help this dream become a reality.
You can get involved as a volunteer or a donor, purchase an amazing Brick or Bench, become a sponsor or stop into Carrick Mor for one of the bandanas.
