Flaherty Dog Park 
Flaherty Dog Park was officially introduced to the Wake Forest community during a special ribbon cutting ceremony in July 2007. Although funding for the facility was made possible by the parks and recreation bond approved by voters in 2005, the idea for the dog park was first suggested by a local resident one year earlier. To learn more about Flaherty Dog Park, view the video or continue reading below.
