High Point University’s baseball team recently announced its “Bark in the Park” series. The series occurs for all home games that fall on a Tuesday during the 2017 season.
Fans and students will be permitted to bring their dogs into Williard Stadium and sit in a designated area that will include water stations. There are three games left in the “Bark in the Park” series: March 28 against Elon; April 18 against UNCG; and April 25 against NC A&T.
To ensure everyone has a fun and safe experience at “Bark in the Park,” the baseball team has the following rules and recommendations:
