Friends of Ellicott

We are the non-profit group partnering with Erie County Parks & Recreation to maintain and manage the Ellicott Island Bark Park.

[Friends of Ellicott @FriendsofElli]

Temps will be on the rise this week & flooding is expected as the snow melts, followed by rain next week. The park will tentatively re-open on May 1st. Your patience is appreciated as we give the turf time to regenerate. In the meantime, we have some fun in the works!

@everyone

SAVE THESE DATES! You won't want to miss out on the fun we are kicking up for 2024!

After the cold snap & blast of snow these last few weeks, the good news is we are in for a warm up...but for Ellicott Island that's also the bad news. Beginning at dusk tomorrow, we'll be closed until further notice.

Check Instagram, X or Facebook for reopening announcements.
