Dykes Only Space (DOS) will see you in the park, Saturday June 28th, 2025!

While we maintain that this day is ours, the only space we can declare “Dykes Only” will be found behind the familiar “Dykes Only” caution tape. Every year, we expand the perimeter. Every year we take back a little more of the park and this day.

The same simple rules apply; if you are a dyke, this is your space. If you are not, but wish to respectfully support us, please do so by helping maintain our perimeter from OUTSIDE of it.

If you are a longtime DOS-er, you know that every year, holding our perimeter is a struggle requiring a village. And every year, we’re up to the task.

If you’ve got strong deescalation skills, all the better. We are a BIWOC led and prioritized space. If you are white and ready to step up and put your body between any police involvement and Black or Brown dykes throughout the day, please do. The DOS is guerrilla and self-governing and as such, it is up to all of us to maintain the integrity of the space. There are no set “shifts” assigned to volunteers. We work together to create and hold down Dykes Only Space so we can relax, socialize and tune out the noise in the rest of the park.

We do our very best to watch out for one another, with specific efforts towards the comfort of our elder dykes, our Black and Brown dykes, our disabled dykes, and the safety of dykes wanting to continue long held customs such as being proudly tits-out on this day, without fear of unwelcome photography or comments.

Donations are gratefully accepted online or at the park, via cash or Venmo. We need your support to keep it hoppin’ and pointed more firmly towards the takeover (take-back) we’re working towards!

So please come! Bring your chairs and blankets, umbrellas, signs and posters, coolers (no glass please), from your finest attire to your dirty-ass 501’s. We will have music for dancing, we’ll take no shit, and most importantly we’ll have a damn good time!

Please note: While substances are welcome, messiness will not be tolerated and you'll be asked to go elsewhere, get less messy, and come on back, if you choose.
