BIG DAY FOR THE DOGGOS OF READING!
Caramel and Friends Dog Park Grand Opening
Monday was a SUPER exciting day for the dog-loving community in Reading, PA with the grand opening of Reading’s FIRST dog park! The FXV Digital Design team, alongside our energetic pup Otis, was delighted to attend the grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration for the brand new Caramel and Friends Dog Park at Schlegel Park, the city’s very first official off-leash dog park.
A Park with Heart
What really sets this park apart goes beyond its enclosed runs and fun features. Caramel and Friends Dog Park is named in honor of Mayor Eddie Moran’s cherished rescue dog, Caramel, a resilient local pup who was rescued from a puppy mill during one of the largest puppy mill busts in Reading in 2009. The park symbolizes hope and the happiness that pets bring to our lives, highlighting the importance of rescue efforts and community spirit.
Why Caramel & Friends Matters
This park isn’t just a new spot for play; it represents Reading’s dedication to building vibrant, connected communities. Places like Caramel and Friends encourage people to gather, forge new friendships, and create lasting memories, all while giving our pets the freedom and fun they deserve.
What to Know Before You Go
To keep all our furry friends safe, one of the most important parts before going to Caramel and Friends Dog Park is to make sure they’re up to date on all of their vaccines, including their rabies shot. In addition to being up to date on all their shots, your dog must be licensed in PA.
These steps not only keep your pups safe, but also all of the new friends they’ll meet at the park!

Whether you’ve lived in Reading for years or just moved here, Caramel and Friends Dog Park is buzzing with excitement. If your pups are dog and people friendly, up to date on their vaccines, and licensed, then you’re all set to enjoy a day at Reading, PA’s first dog park!
