Wetnose Wednesdays at Equity Bank Park

Bring your pup to the park for Wet Nose Wednesday at Equity Bank Ballpark! Almost every Wednesday, your furry friend is invited to enjoy the game alongside you in designated dog-friendly areas. Be sure to enter through the Delano or McLean gates, keep your pup leashed, and avoid the concession stand zones past first and third base. Don’t forget to bring vaccination records and complete the waiver (online or at the gate). Water stations, relief areas, and plenty of tail-wagging fun await on the berm — plus you’re welcome to bring treats, waste bags, and collapsible water bowls to keep your buddy comfy all game long!
