St. Paul Parks and Rec is hosting a free “Yappy Hour” for dogs and their people 4-6 p.m. Wednesday at its newest dog park downtown.
The city last month fenced in a modest off-leash dog park at Kellogg Mall Park. Parks and Rec public service manager Clare Cloyd said residents for years have asked the department to carve out a space for dogs.
“Yappy Hour is our way of promoting the new dog park, which is there for residents and visitors,” she said.
The event offers free nail trimming by Howliday Pet Spa. For humans, there will be music by Will Effertz, food by Cheeky Chicks Food Truck and games such as table tennis and cornhole.
Yappy Hour is part of the parks department’s “Kick it at Kellogg Mall Park” promotional series.
Activities planned through August include free coffee, food trucks, kids story time, yoga and concerts. For more information, visit kelloggmallpark.com.
