ROMP DEA Meet and Greets

This year for the high dog park usage season of Spring/Summer/Fall ROMP will be visiting each site once throughout the season. We will have a booth with board members so you can meet us, learn about us, and we can learn about and from you.

Currently we have scheduled:

  • April 14th – The Runway 10am – 1pm
  • May 19th – Estabrook Park 10am – 1pm
  • June 2nd – Warnimont Park 10am – 1pm
  • July 1st – Currie Park 10am – 1pm

Check back for dates for the other parks and we encourage you to come to any and all of the site visits to meet ROMP and share info.

ROMP has been in existence for 10 years now, having promoted the current dog park system within the county parks starting with The Runway and all new parks. Last year we also became the friends group for Granville when the original group disbanded. As the one and only ‘friends group’ for the DEAs we promote awareness of the parks and the permit system, organize cleanups and communicate the needs of the users, and help plan for the maintenance and growth of the system of parks. Many of the same people have been involved since the beginning and some of us would like to pass the torch onto new people that will continue the energy and passion for the dog parks to keep them open, clean, and safe and to advance the idea of parks throughout the county. The only way the DEAs will stay and grow is with the support of their users. Please consider adding your interest and talents to ROMP as volunteers and board members. If interested come to an awareness day or contact us at info@milwaukeedogparks.org.
