Dog Park

Bruce G. Ladd Memorial Dog Park

After the creation of the SUFA Facility in Westerly, SUFA sought out to further envision it’s goal of supporting and improving the lives of animals and the shelter animals it works to protect. With this, Stand Up For Animals worked with the town of Westerly to change a nearby conservation area into a beautiful, modern and publicly-available park for dogs and their owners. Today, this park is open daily and available to all public members, those of Westerly and surrounding areas.

Below is documentation regarding the rules of our Dog Park and other information.
