A Stock Exchange Bell For Dogs Is Coming To Prospect Park

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — An exhibit coming to Prospect Park next week might have parkgoers wondering if they wandered into the Financial District — well, a dog version, at least.

Canine company BARK is planning to set up a dog-sized replica of the New York Stock Exchange platform and bell at the southern end of Brooklyn's backyard to celebrate their company going public, they announced this week.

Complete with dog treats, human treats and free toys, the platform will be within "snoot's reach" so owners can snap a photo of their four-legged friend ringing the bell.

It will be set up across from Bartel-Pritchard Square near the Prospect Park West and Prospect Park Southwest corner of Prospect Park.

BARK is a subscription-service company that makes BarkBoxes, or monthly packages for dogs.

Here are the details of the exhibit:

WHEN: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2.

WHERE: Prospect Park, Bartel Lot (near corner of Prospect Park West and Prospect Park Southwest, across from Bartel-Pritchard Square). Closest subway: 15 St - Prospect Park Station (F, G)

WHAT: To celebrate going public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), BARK is recreating the iconic NYSE platform and bell from a “dog’s eye view.” The bell will be within snoot’s reach so dogs can ring it themselves, and their humans can capture the moment. Plenty of STONKS (dog treats), human treats and free toys will be handed out. The public can swing by, but it is limited-capacity (max 50 people per hour). Dogs should stay on a leash.
