Dog Park
A dog park is a place where dogs can socialize and run off-leash in a safe, secure environment. Dog parks are becoming an increasingly popular opportunity for people and dogs to relax, exercise, and socialize. It is a great bonding experience for pets and their owners. Also, by providing socialization and exercise opportunities, dogs are less likely to be aggressive and create a nuisance by barking excessively or destroying property. The community will benefit in other ways, such as promoting responsible pet ownership and providing elderly and disabled owners with an accessible place to exercise their companions.
