| - I let clients who move here from other lands know that the living here in Cleveland is good, and some of the best things are found in the Cleveland Metroparks. After years of telling folks about all the great things to do here, and then not taking my own advice, and working a gazillion hours per week, I decided to get a little crazy today and vacate my desk at lunchtime.
I put the lease onto Waldo dog (dog-friendly places are my favorite!) and we were at Acacia in a few minutes. The weather was gorgeous today, and there were several other people (one with her own pooch) out enjoying the pathways. There are restrooms, benches and gazebo for sitting and thinking, dog doo bags available by the trash cans (each pair of pants and/or jacket that I own seems to always have a bag in a pocket, but I appreciate when places make them available, and a large parking lot. Waldo and I walked just one loop (work does need to be done so that kibble can be purchased, right?), so we will need to return when we have a bit more time to explore and walk a bit more. The terrain is gentle, so a good pair of tennis shoes are sufficient here
Across the road are a shopping mall (not dog-friendly), in case you want to drop off a companion who would rather shop than walk, and a Cleveland Clinic facility (also not dog-friendly, but with an urgent care inside) in the event you take a tumble and need a doc.
