Inaugural PUP Party Successful

Thank you for supporting our first PUP Party Clean-Up Day. Nearly 300 people volunteered to help. Over 20 large bags of waste were collected!

Community businesses supported the event with donations: Bailey's Pet Spa,
Card My Yard, Christian Brothers Automotive, Chuck and Don's, Kong, Lowes, and Poo Free Parks.

As we say, all For The Love of Dogs. It was a good day, and many people said,
"I love this Park."

The Environment at Westminster Hills

The Guardians are just as passionate about sustainability and responsible land management as we are about our four-legged friends! We feel strongly that we have a duty to preserve this treasured resource for generations to come.

It's Official: We've Adopted the Park

Do you know the “Adopt-A-Street” program? Well, the Guardians have adopted the Westminster Hills Open Space Dog Off-Leash and Nature Area! This was done in partnership with the Westminster Parks, Recreation, and Libraries Department.

Adopting the dog park allows us to organize our own events both large and small. If you and your friends want to organize your own small clean-up event, please let us know! We can coordinate with the City to ensure that the necessary supplies (scoopers, trash bags, etc.) are available.
