Bark in the Park
Bark in the Park is scheduled for October 24, 2026, at Rose Tree Park in Media, Pennsylvania. The event combines a dog-friendly running and walking program with a Fall/Food Festival on the park grounds. Proceeds are directed entirely to Providence Animal Center's lifesaving work.
Distances offered include:
- 5K dog-friendly run
- 1 mile walk
Participants who do not bring a dog can choose a rent-a-dog option provided by the organizer. The festival portion includes a vaccine and microchipping clinic, dog contests, food trucks, local business vendors, raffle baskets, music, and arts and crafts.
Event rules specify that all dogs must be up-to-date on their rabies vaccination and that proof of vaccination may be requested at the event. All dogs must remain on a leash; retractable leashes are not permitted.
Sponsorship and vendor opportunities are available at set levels, with a Business Vendor option noted at $150 and sponsor tiers including Bronze ($500), Silver ($1,000), Gold ($2,500), and Platinum ($5,000). Benefits for higher sponsor levels listed in event materials include promotional placement, logo inclusion on event assets, and complimentary run or walk entries.
