Fairfax County Park Authority and the Ellanor C. Lawrence Park Friends invite families and their four-legged companions to unleash the fun at Park and Bark, a community event supporting Ellanor C. Lawrence Park.
Join us on Saturday, May 9, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Walney Visitor Center, located at 5040 Walney Road in Chantilly, for an afternoon filled with dogs, food, music and festive fun.
Park and Bark offers something for everyone — both human and canine alike. Enjoy craft brews from Lazy Dog Restaurant, gourmet hot dogs and sausages from Kaziville, dog-themed vendors, local crafters and live music from Lucas Mason. Guests can also meet adoptable dogs from A Forever Home Rescue Foundation and explore services, such as on-site mobile dog grooming.
Families can take part in children’s activities led by park staff and explore the Walney Visitor Center, featuring exhibits, live reptiles and amphibians, and the natural and cultural history of the park’s 650 acres.
Whether you're looking to adopt, explore or simply enjoy time outdoors with your pup, Park and Bark is a great way to connect with the community and support the park.
Free parking is available at the Visitor Center, with additional access via park trails from Walney Pond and The Woodlands Stewardship Education Center. Overflow parking is available near Walney Pond, 5301 Walney Road, Centreville. Please use the pond lot for overflow parking, as there is no crosswalk from the parking lot across the pond.
So grab your leash, gather your pack and join us for a tail-wagging good time at Park and Bark!
