Founder’s Story
all for nora…
The initial idea for Park-9 grew out of love for Nora, the 3-year old golden retriever parented by Tess + Emily and spoiled by Uncle Chris. They love spending time with her while socializing with their (human) family, friends, and often their four-legged best friends. However, there are very few “dog-friendly” spaces or environments truly dedicated to the comfort and enjoyment of both dogs and their people. Park-9 is the answer.
Inspired by the unconditional love between dogs and humans, the family owned business strives to create unique and inclusive gathering spaces that delight our guests and enrich our lives.
