A safe place to run, jump and play!

NOW OPEN! Part of ongoing efforts by the Restoration & Beautification Committee of Columbiana to enhance the outdoor experience of residents and visitors alike, the Firestone Dog Park Campaign is a grassroots effort to build a welcoming, safe, public dog park in our community.

The soft-opening of Firestone Dog Park took place on Saturday, June 17, 2023, and was a collaboration with Dogs of Birdfish/Birdfish Brewing Company and members of the Firestone family/Roger S. Firestone Foundation with the launch announced on the Dogs of Birdfish Instagram account on Thursday, June 15, and shared among its 560+ followers.
