About Us
Welcome to Friends of Noonan Park Dog Run Inc, a not-for-profit organization proudly based in Woodside, New York. Our group was officially established in July 2023, with the goal of creating, maintaining, and improving a dedicated dog run within the L/CPL Thomas P. Noonan Playground. We are a community-driven initiative, born out of the shared passion of local dog owners and residents who wanted to provide a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for dogs and their owners alike.
At Friends of Noonan Park Dog Run Inc., we believe that dogs play an essential role in the lives of their owners and the broader community. They are not just pets; they are family members, companions, and sources of joy. Our organization exists to ensure that these beloved companions have a space where they can run freely, socialize with other dogs, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and secure setting.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple yet impactful:
To create and maintain a dog-friendly space that fosters connection, play, and community spirit.
To advocate for the needs of dog owners in the Woodside area and beyond.
To ensure that the Noonan Park Dog Run remains a clean, well-maintained, and welcoming environment for everyone.
We take pride in being more than just a dog park. Our dog run is a hub for community engagement, where neighbors meet, friendships are formed, and bonds are strengthened. By bringing people together through their shared love of dogs, we aim to build a stronger, more connected community in Woodside.
Our Vision for the Future
While we are proud of what we have accomplished so far, we know that our work is far from over. Our vision for the future includes:
Expanding Our Reach: We aim to grow our community by reaching more dog owners and supporters in Woodside and beyond.
Enhancing the Dog Run: We are constantly looking for ways to improve the Noonan Park Dog Run, whether through new amenities, better maintenance, or additional features.
