| - Maybe I'm oblivious as to what a "bad" neighborhood is. I'm from the Midwest and spent about 6 years in Los Angeles. I don't see the neighborhood around this dog park as seeming shady, unless they mean it's a little bit older, a bit more working class. Maybe if my car gets broken into or I get mugged I'll change my mind.
I'll admit, I have a SUPER flexible job. And I really really really love taking my dogs to the dog park. I take them almost every day. I avoid weekends however. Weekend dog owner/warriors are a bit too much for my patience
I enjoy dogs who are active and like to play a bit hard. NOT aggressive, but the whole point of a dog park is to let the dogs play and get some energy out right?
Ok, anyways, to the actual dog park. You have to actually review this dog park in its seasons.
Summer: the green grass is beautiful, I'm surprised the city actually spends the money to flood the field once a month to keep it green.
There is ample shade for owners and the dogs. I usually get to the dog park around 6am in summer mornings to beat the heat. The owners and dogs are overall very friendly. I'm not gonna lie, EVERY dog park has their fair share of annoying and sometimes dangerous dogs.
No big deal, if you take your dog to a park, you should be observant and look for the signs if a simple "play date" might turn into a brawl. Not unlike some dates i've been on.
Winter:the dog park is amazing. the grass is brown and dead, but it's not disgusting. Unless it rains, there is no mud. there is no monthly flooding that requires you to go to another park for a few days a week. The weather is crisp and the dogs are more active.
seating options are fine for a dog park. Some benches and peed on plastic chairs. stick to the bench if you want to sit. but shouldn't you be chasing your dog around?
also, this is just my pet peeve. If you bring toys to the park, just assume it is PARK PROPERTY. There is nothing i hate more is when a "special toy" is brought to the park, and inevitably the dog drops it and some other dog wants to play with it. Then the owner goes around, asking the other owner to get the toy back.
Save the special toy for the house. There are plenty of tennis balls to go around!
yikes, I need to really reign my self in here!
sooo...
I think the dog park is worth the trip. It is large enough for the dogs to have a real run. Owners and dogs for the most part are very friendly.
If you go enough, you'll see the regulars. You'll learn the dogs names before you learn the owners names.
this might be a big weird, but for someone who is new to the city, outside of work, I've met a majority of the cool friendly folks at the dog park!
and yeah, my doggies seem to love it! they never want to leave!
