| - Get your arse off the couch and go for a hike in Frick Park, bc it is beautiful! Especially now that the leaves have started turning.
Hiking in Frick is one of my favorite Saturday afternoon activities. I do the Falls Ravine trail. There are fenced in off leash dog parks, one with a pond your dog you can swim in. Basically, any dog you see in Frick Park is in a good mood and is having a blast.
The downside of Frick Park is that just about every dog in Frick is off its leash, even though the only areas this is allowed are the dog parks. This is dangerous for those who ride bikes in the park, people who are afraid of dogs, and unfortunately as I found out, those who have dogs that are agressive with other dogs. Even though my dog was on a leash, I had a few harried moments when an unleashed dog ran up to my dog. I resorted to muzzling my dog when walking him through Frick and then it was like I was walking Hannibal Lector through the park you should have seen the looks I got--but you know what, I didnt care, it was the only way my dog and I could both enjoy the park.
That sounds like a huge negative for the park, but the above is really intended as an FYI.
The trails are great, and you can get a good work out due to all the different hills and terrain. Families seem to love the park, and there are some pretty fun looking play grounds here.
The trees and grounds are beautiful. Dont take my word for it---go for a hike or a bike ride and bring your dog, and keep your dog on its leash!
