Central Park Paws Promotes Community

An accomplished New York real estate investment executive, Michael Mikelic currently serves as a managing principal with King Penguin Opportunity Fund III, LLC. In this role, he pursues commercial real estate investments in high-density urban locations such as Pittsburgh. In addition to his role with King Penguin Opportunity Fund, Michael Mikelic supports organizations such as the Central Park Conservancy, which raises 75 percent of the park’s annual budget from private donations. 

Established in 1984 by a group of New York citizens, the Central Park Conservancy encourages support from community members through programs such as Central Park Paws. Dog owners are a vital part of keeping Central Park clean and safe, and Central Park Paws invites them to become stewards of the park by becoming familiar with leash laws, clean-up information, and other regulations. The program also sponsors events such as Bagel Barks, a meet-up in dog-friendly areas of the park, and invites dog owners to experience one of its signature park tours with Hound Hikes.
