The Kingsport Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a special event later this month for our furry friends – a Dog Park Ice Cream Social.
The event is a great opportunity for dogs and humans alike to socialize with others, while enjoying some tasty treats. Dogs will enjoy a free pup cup from Scooter’s Coffee, while humans can pick up a cold treat for themselves from the Beach Hut.
The Dog Park Ice Cream Social will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on August 26 at Kingsport’s Dogwood Park (800 Granby Road).
Though the event is free, Kingsport Parks and Recreation officials are asking folks to register to know approximately how many pup cups will be needed.

A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
