This Friday, May 17 will feature a special celebration, as it’s the Grand Opening of Rudy’s Bark Park, the newest dog park in the City of Oakdale.

The park is on South Maag Avenue, next to Oakdale Junior High School and the grand opening festivities will run from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

There will be a ribbon cutting, food, vendors, fundraising and the chance for well-behaved dogs to attend with their owners and get that first ‘sniff’ of the new park.

The event is being hosted by the Central Valley Association of Realtors in cooperation with the Oakdale Chamber of Commerce.

All are encouraged to attend the unveiling of the new dog park.
