Miami Dream Dog Park event

 

Earlier this week, Beneful, a Purina dog food brand,  helped fix up the Dog Park at David T. Kennedy Park. The Beneful team gifted the City of Miami $20,000 to support the popular local dog park as part of its 2016 Dream Dog Park Project. In addition to the donation, they worked side-by-side with Miami Parks & Recreation and community volunteers to install and paint new park equipment and help with beautification efforts. 

A Coconut Grove pup was excited about the spruce-up, which took place on Wednesday, July 20.

The donation comes as part of the sixth Beneful Dream Dog Park Project, a year-long program by the dog food maker to support the renovation and creation of community dog parks across the country.

The volunteer crew – including local dog lovers, City of Miami employees and the Beneful team – worked together to assemble and install new seating equipment and enhance the dog park’s landscaping.
