11th & Bark was formed to make the Columbia Heights Dog Park an official city off-leash dog park. In 2018, we have the opportunity to do that. 

But we need your help.

Save the Park

The Columbia Heights Dog Park is located on Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) property and WMATA may sell the land. We worked with Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau to ensure that that the District included funds in its FY2019 budget to purchase the property and save the dog park.

Improve the Park

The Columbia Heights Dog Park is in need of a lot of TLC. 11th & Bark continues to organize clean-up days, but we also want to make significant improvements to the space once the District purchases the land.

Been dreaming of adding a/another dog to your household? We got a candidate for you! We met Junior at the dog park yesterday he was calm and friendly and we were told he is quite the cuddler. And of course he is super cute! He is 3-4 years old and just came to the DC area and our #cohidogpark from the South. He is being fostered in our fair neighborhood by a @dcluckydog volunteer until he finds his furever family. It could be you 😉🐾 Check out Junior's adoption info there: https://toolkit.rescuegroups.org/javascript/v2.0/template1?animalID=13161861&key=Mqr6gy1W ##11thandBark #adoptdontshop #thisisdc Remember Bingo? He may be the original #CoHiDogPark dog! Back in the day when then Council Member Graham got WMATA to let dogs use this space, he was one of dogs enjoying the park from day one. Known for endlessly staring at one of the trees where his pawrent had hidden a ball. After a stint in CO he is back in DC proudly wearing his #11thandBark bandana. #thisisdc #greenspace This is Fred. Sure, he is no Olympian. But he is little.He is cute. Just moved here from Arkansas and is new to the dog park. He needs your love too! ❤🐾 This is Olympian @guskenworthy and his new dog, Birdie (@b_pups). @hsiglobal saved Birdie after she was born on a meat farm in South Korea, and then Gus came to DC to adopt her from @awlaarlington. What was one of their very first stops after she was adopted? That’s right, #11thandBark. Thank you Gus for saving dogs and for your dedication to making others aware of the cause. #cohidogpark #adoptdontstop #rescuedog #DogsAreFriendsNotFood #dcdogs #instadogs #doggos #This IsDC #dogsofinstagram #wethedogsdc #dogsofDC @mayor_bowser @marycheh @briannefordc Meet Yara. Ball lover. A little over a year. Adopted from @PawsChicago. #adoptdontshop #11thandBark @marcuspaigethedog, Kona and Marcel getting their beach on at the August edition of #firstfridaydc on #GeorgiaAveDC. And yeah getting these cuties on camera with that beach prop is easier than it looks 😉 @gaavethrive Have you been missing Ms Lexie too? We are counting the days until this #cohidogpark regular can once again rule as the "Queen of Tug of War" at the park. Lexie had surgery for a bone spur in one of her hind legs and has a Dr prescribed 3 months "break" from the park to recover. She is at the halfway point of her hiatus and doing fantastic although missing all her friends at the park. She.will be back soooooon. We miss you Lexie! ❤🐾 #dogsofdc #adoptdontshop Lucy lost her ❤ to Finn on Monday night at the yappy hour. Could not keep her paws off him. Yeah, probably not the first dog or human. He clearly did not seem to mind it though 😉🐾 #cohidogpark #dogsofdc #thisisdc Fun and games at @maple_dc earlier today. Bandanas and bananas were available for all to enjoy! 🐾😉 Thanks to all of you who came by! #dogsofdc #cohidogpark #thisisdc This is Tilly, 2+ year pointer mix with lots of freckles. Adopted on Cinco de Mayo from @citydogsrescue. Squeezing in a visit to the park between these torrential rain storms. #dogsofdc #thisisdc #cohidogpark #adoptdontshop This can you be your dog come Monday night. Well dressed and all 😉 🐾 http://bit.ly/2mwKAFb Your plans for Monday night (7/23) just got better. We are setting up shop at @maple_dc on their dog friendly sidewalk patio from 5:30pm to 7pm. Come on by on your way to/from the dog park or just because. Catch up on the latest about #savethecohidogpark, style the pup with a dog park bandana for a donation of $10 for @11thandbarkdc improvements, learn about volunteer opportunities... and yes, enjoy some adult beverages! @maple_dc will donate $1 for every bottle of beer purchased to the dog park. See you there! 🐾🍺🍷 #cohidogpark #thisisdc #dcdogs #dogpark #dogfriendlydc Tallulah. What a great name! She is a new morning regular at the park and clearly is a "morning dog" since she is perky no matter how early the hour. She is about 1-year old and her furever family adopted her about 2 months ago from @citydogs_dc . She wants to run and play with every dog who comes in the park so your dog is bound to meet her soon! #adoptdontshop #cohidogpark #dogsofinstagram #thisidc Look who stopped by the #cohidogpark today? @winston_the_weenie_dc. He is brand new to the 'hood and a wee too little to enter the park just yet but many of the dogs ran to the fence to say "hello" through the fence, tails wagging. You can catch the little fella at @districtbridges (offices above @meridianpint) where he serves - we assume - as a therapist. So visit @bri_dornbush, the ED, and talk to her about how you can help make the neighborhood better and you get to hang out with him! Hello from Giuseppe! Originally adopted at 6 months, this lad has been coming to 11th & Bark since it opened. Now a mature 13 years old, it’s harder for him to get up and walk to the park these days, but he still comes twice a day. Every once in a while he’ll even let out a little run across the park. Stay strong, G! ✊ • • • #11thandbark #savingcohidogpark #11thandbarkdc #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #dogsofdc #dcdogs #citydog #dogpark #instadogs #dogsofinstagram #pawlitics #wethedogsdc #dcdogmoms #dcdogdads #itsfundraisingtime Meet Pippa. Lover of frozen dog treats and owner of the world's best ears! She was a visitor at our table at @districtdog as part of @gaavethrive 's #FirstFridayDC tonight. She recently moved to DC with Francesca after she was adopted from a shelter in Arkansas. She plans to come to the #cohidogpark so say "hello" when you meet her! @ms.pippa.morency #adoptdontshop #11thandBark #cohidogpark Furever match through our #cohidogpark! ❤❤ Meet Gumbo, a rescue from @dcpawsrescue. Andrew, his foster parent, brought him to the dog park and a dog lover from Ivy City fell in love with him while walking by the park. Match made and he should be moving to his forever home today. Congrats to Gumbo and kudos to Andrew! Andrew will soon foster another dog, a 6 year old part boxer/lab mix, who we look forward to meeting at the park! Happy happy 4th of July to all creatures big and small from Mack, Frannie, Luna and Paul from the (way too hot) #cohidogpark ! Have a fantastic holiday and stay cool! #thisisdc #happy4th And last but not least of dog show #cohiday2018 winners... Pumbaa and Sadie. They have apparently perfected the tail wag. "Best Tail Wagger" ribbons and prizes from neighborhood small businesses @redrocksdc (your pooch can join you on their patio) and @oddprovisions #11thandBark #DogShow #thisisdc We ♥ dog ears! Sasha and Max have particilarly great ones. They won "Best Ears" at the cohiday2018 dog show and great prizrs from @goodsilverdc @anniesace. #thisisdc #cohidogpark
