Make a donation
We have continuing expenses — lawn care, electric, the port-a-john, and more — that are not currently met by donations and our annual fundraiser. We find it disconcerting that after a 3-day weekend of perfect weather and a full parking lot one spring, total donations were $4!
We will never charge a mandatory fee to use the park — but we strongly suggest each visitor place $1 in the barrel by the exit after each visit.
If you wish to make a single, larger donation to cover your visits for any period, please mail a check to:
Wantage Dog Park
59 Deckertown Tpke
Sussex, NJ 07461
We are a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization with NJ State incorporation. On behalf of our dogs — THANK YOU!
Sponsor a fence sign
Local businesses can advertise on the park fence, seen by hundreds of visitors every week — and help keep the park running.
