Bark In The Park 2026

We're rolling out the red carpet for our favorite four-legged friends! Bring your dog to our annual Bark in the Park on Sunday, May 31st from 10am-1pm at ShoreTown Ballpark in Lakewood - home of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws!

We'll have lots of FREE fun before the gates open. Carl Craft and Gotts will be hosting pup contests like the infamous Kissing Contest, Doggie Talent Show, Musical “Chairs” & more!

Also, one of our favorite parts of the day will be the "Doggie Adoption Showcase" on our rescue runway! Local animal shelters and rescue groups will be on site with adoptable dogs, we'll tell you about the pups & they will walk on the Red Carpet!

You & your dog can also attend the 1pm BlueClaws game with the purchase of a game ticket and “Paw Pass!”
