Firestone Dog Park and the Restoration and Beautification Committee of Columbiana will present “Bark in the Park” Saturday, April 30 at Harvey S. Firestone Recreational Park, 338 East Park Ave., Columbiana. The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“Bark in the Park” will occur near the Walking Trail behind Clipper Baseball Field.

The annual event seeks to raise awareness and funds for the Firestone Dog Park. The event features adoptable pets, pet-friendly vendors and pet-trick demos.

“Bark in the Park” is held in conjunction with National Dog Park Day, which brings together trainers, shelters, retailers, pet lovers and dog owners. The observance is typically held the first Saturday in May.

Firestone Dog Park is part of ongoing efforts by the Restoration and Beautification Committee of Columbiana. Named after entrepreneur and Columbiana-native Harvey S. Firestone, the community dog park will include a 1.75-acre fenced area strategically located near the existing Walking Trail in historic Harvey S. Firestone Recreational Park and a natural setting with shade trees and space to run.
