The Winnipeg Goldeyes will welcome baseball fans and their four-legged companions to Blue Cross Park on Saturday, August 23, for the team’s 8th annual “Bark in the Park” game.
The dog-friendly event will feature themed entertainment, giveaways, and pet-focused activities, including a pre-game “Pooch Parade” at 5:30 p.m., a “Pooch Smooch Cam,” and the “5th Inning Fetch.” The first 750 dogs through the gates will receive a complimentary treat bag.
“Bark in the Park has definitely proven to be a Goldeyes Fan favourite,” said Winnipeg Goldeyes director of sales and marketing, Dan Chase. “Again, this year, our fans can support the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter by purchasing 50/50 tickets at the game or online at Goldeyes5050.com.”
Goldeyes players will wear special “Pet Pic” jerseys, which will be auctioned off in support of the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation.
Advance ticket packages for one dog and one owner are $18 or $26, with additional human tickets available for $15 or $22. A waiver form, available at goldeyes.com/bark, must be printed and presented at registration, which opens at 4 p.m. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.
Veterinarians will be on site to ensure the comfort and safety of all pets.
First pitch against the Lincoln Saltdogs is at 6 p.m.
