In keeping with the something for everyone, Misty Pines Dog Park will offer dog agility demonstrations that will include some K-9 officers.

The North Side Celebration in the Park from the inception has been designed to be uniquely North Side because of our abundance of cultural resources, artists and civic organizations.
