The Dog PAWs Dog Park is a collaborative effort between the Dog PAWs Task Force and the Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department to build Salisbury’s first dog park.

All funds collected for the Dog PAWs Dog Park go directly to the construction of Salisbury’s first dog park. These funds will build a fence, add water stations, add shrubbery and trees as well as build doggy play areas within the park. Funds will also go towards the upkeep and repair of the dog park once it is built.

Elizabeth Holmes Hurley Park is an 18-acre public park composed of woodlands, streams, gardens and quiet pathways. From its beginning, Elizabeth Holmes Hurley Park has been a joint venture between public and private interests.

A generous donation in memory of Elizabeth Holmes Hurley from her husband - J.F. Hurley Jr. - and her sons - James Franklin, III, Haden Holmes and Gordon Pannill Hurley - allowed for special, high-quality amenities and plantings, as well as an ambitious schedule for the park's development.

Many gardens, trees and furnishings have been dedicated in memory or honor of individuals or groups. Contributions of any amount will be gratefully accepted for long term maintenance of the park. Development of the park is based on a master plan, so all major gifts are reviewed by the staff.
