Dogs. They're better than cats.
Dogs are so great that cities designate parks specifically for them. Of said parks, Chaparral is easily the best I've seen.
The feature I like most is the way they separate the dogs. One enclosure is for Passive dogs and the other is for Active. Some other parks I've visited had dogs separated by Large and Small. The size separation method never worked well for my boxer because... he's Passive and uncomfortable around other big dogs if they're too Active. At Chaparral, that problem is solved.
I've visited the park a couple of times and it's always been clean, there's a water station, plenty of parking and potty bags. The other dog parents are generally friendly as well. Although, there's always that one person that seems to not want the dogs to come near them... Do they only like their dog? I only like my kid... so I could understand that. Do they think they're at the "regular park" and it just so happens everyone else brought their dogs? I don't know.
Here's what I do know. You can't go wrong with Chaparral Dog Park. Dogs... they're great. A wise person once said... if you put your dog and your significant other in the trunk of your car... then come back in an hour... who will be happy to see you?
