Attendees heard speeches from Arroyo Grande Mayor, Tony Ferrara, Parks and Recreation Manager, Doug Perrin, and Association President, Cynthia Eklund. All speakers thanked and congratulated those involved who spent close to four years planning and raising money to make the park a reality.
Eklund announced that donations are still needed to pay for the improvements which include fences, gates, trashcans, benches, mutt mitt dispensers, and other tools needed for ongoing maintenance.
Eklund was also recognized for her extrordinary efforts and vision by fellow board members who presented her with an engraved glass wine cooler and a bottle of champagne.
A "leash cutting" was then performed to proclaim the official opening of the park. Afterwards, attendees enjoyed the park with their dogs and met a number of vendors and sponsors that were present.

Grand Opening Celebration
After years of planning, coordinating and fundraising, the Five Cities Dog Park Association is proud to announce the grand opening of the Elm Street Off Leash Dog Park!
Leash Cutting Ceremony will be held at the Elm Street Off Leash Dog Park [map] on May 23rd at 9:00 AM to officially open the first dog park in Arroyo Grande and the five cities area. We would like to welcome everyone out to celebrate the culmination of so much hard work from our members and city staff. Bring a leash for your dog since we will be outside the park and a folding chair (if you wish) since we will be in the grass.

Elm Street Off-Leash Dog Park is Open!
The Elm Street Off-Leash Dog Park [map] is finally open.
After years of planning, battling, fundraising and sweating, the Five Cities Dog Park Association is proud to announce the opening of the Five Cities' first official off-leash area.
The park is open, but much still needs to be done--including raising the rest of the money needed to pay for benches, trashcans, a kiosk, and other necessary items needed to maintain the park. Your donations and support are still needed. Please take a moment to send your donation to our address below or click the "Donate" button to the right. We have a recognition plan for donations of $100 and above.
