Pilgrim Bark Park will consist of almost
an acre of land enclosed with a six foot high fence and
double entry gates facing away from the street.
Two sections will be created -- one for dogs under twenty-five
pounds and a general section for all dogs. There
will be twenty parking spaces. The park will be
located on the corner of Shank Painter Road and Rt. 6
in Provincetown, next to the Cumberland Farms.
The
Pilgrim Bark Park will build upon Provincetown's distinguished
reputation as an arts community.
Our
goal is to have all basic amenities artistically
interpreted by artists using a canine theme. For
example, Cape Cod artist Candy Crawford will create
the initial park benches from material generously donated
by Trex Company.
Among them, one will be in the shape of a bone, and
another will show two dogs playfully tugging a rope.
Our vision
is to place within the park art that reflects the seaside
heritage of the town. For instance, one artist
has donated a beautiful bronze sculpture of a whale's
tail which reflects Provincetown's long history with
whales.
