Dog Park Closing for Annual Maintenance

The City of Gulfport Dog Park, at 5313 27th Ave. S., will close the weeks of May 3 and May 10, weather depending, for annual maintenance. The Parks Department will pull weeds, fill holes and grade both large and small dog park areas. Re-sodding begins on May 10 and the city estimates two weeks before they reopen the park.

Donate to the Senior Center Pantry

Got extra food? If you do, the Gulfport Senior Center Pantry needs it. They’re looking for non-perishables like tuna, peanut butter, dry cereal, pasta sauce, soups and canned meats. Any Gulfport resident 50 and older can use the pantry. The Senior Center keeps the pantry open from 1 to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays. If you have food to donate, drop it off anytime. If you could use food, bring your photo ID, a utility bill, or bank statement (to prove residence) and your SSI proof of income. Wondering if you can use the pantry? Call Rachel Cataldo at 727-893-1231.
