Formed in 2012, the Eastline Romp-and-Play Committee is a community-propelled Not-for-profit organization that has partnered with the Town of Malta to manage a community dog park on 20 acres 584 East Line Road, The Eastline Romp-and Play Committee oversees all aspects of the park including membership applications, park enhancement and development, and park maintenance.

The dog park project began with the identification of 584 East Line Road as an ideal location for the new dog park. This land, also known as the Michalko property, is approximately 20 acres in size and previously had one single family home with detached garage and small barn.  It was acquired by the Town of Malta in 2006 and had been vacant ever since.  In 2008, a historical report was produced by the Town Historian, which identified the barn as a building of historical value to the community that should be preserved. In November 2011, a few dog enthusiasts identified this property as a possible dog park location due to its rural environment and number of acres of open space.  In January 2012, the residents approached the Town with the idea to turn the Michalko property into a dog park.
