Bark Park Memorial Bricks You are invited to be part of the MonDaug Bark Park Rainbow Bridge, which is located at the Bark Park on Camphill Road in Fort Washington. The Friends of MonDaug Bark Park are happy to continue its “Buy A Brick Campaign.” This campaign is designed to help raise money to pay for the ongoing "extras”, such as dog clean-up bag refills, landscaping, benches, etc. When you buy a brick in the memory of your beloved pet, it represents a permanent memorial at the park; be it canine or feline, the bricks will always be there. Each brick will have a small paw print in the upper left hand corner and inscriptions decided by the purchaser. Additionally, all donors to our brick campaign will receive a personalized "baby brick". These small bricks make an excellent memento. The bricks that have been purchased are placed at the memorial brick garden, which is located beneath the bulletin board at the dog park. Contact UDP&R for order forms or questions.
