Pups in the Park

Sponsored by donors and managed by American River Parkway Foundation, the Pups in the Park program provides mutt mitts at seventeen stations on the American River Parkway. This program is essential to encourage positive dog owner behavior as well as ensure our waterways are clean and free of our four-legged friend’s waste. It is your duty to pick up your dog’s doody!

• Paradise Beach
• Howe Ave. (North)

Thank you to our Pups in the Park Sponsors! Without their support the mutt mitts would not be available along the Parkway, which reduces the amount of toxins entering our waterways and contaminating soil.
