History

Dog-parkBigelow Hollow State Park in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, began as a community-driven initiative responding to a clear need for a dedicated, safe space for dogs to exercise and socialize.

The idea originated with local dog owners who frequently visited Bigelow Hollow State Park but lacked a contained area specifically designed for canine recreation.

Recognizing the park’s popularity and the absence of a designated dog park, a group of passionate residents spearheaded efforts to establish a fenced-in space, aiming to provide a secure and controlled environment for dogs and their owners.

Initial fundraising and volunteer work focused on clearing an appropriate area and constructing the necessary fencing, largely through donations and local support.

The park's development reflects the community's commitment to outdoor recreation and the well-being of its four-legged companions.

It’s a testament to successful collaboration between residents and the state park authorities, ensuring a valuable amenity for dog owners in the Stafford Springs area.
