ABOUT

Palmer Doggie Depot (PDD) is a Fishtown community dog park and a free neighborhood amenity for all dogs and their owners. The dog park was built by New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC) as a part of a larger project to the Shissler Recreation Center and now sits on what the NKCDC has dubbed the “Big Green Block”. Come visit us!

PDD is led by a group of community volunteers and currently has a board of 9 members:

  • Mary Acker, President

  • Sara Autori, Vice President

  • Natalie Miller, Treasurer

  • Alan Bisco, Member

  • Joe Falchetta, Member

  • Alyssa Antoci, Member

  • Melissa Meier, Member

  • Margaret Patterson, Member

  • Patrick Moore, Member

Behind the scenes a dedicated band of volunteers, made up of Fishtown and Kensington residents, works steadily to maintain and improve the park.
