first dog park visit

I was very impressed with how clean and well maintained the dog park was. It was my first time visiting a dog park and it was a great one. The only thing that i thought was a downfall is that you cannot take kids in the fenced in area. I am a single parent and it would be hard for me to occupy the park if My baby can't be with me.

I took my dog to the park to play with my family. The human owners were rude and judgemental, for example one commenting on the weight of anothers puppy, and making comments on how to clean up after your dog correctly.

I understand that unsupervised children should not be allowed, but it is important that kids be allowed to interact with their pets and to force children who are there with parents to stand outside the fence is not ideal. We ended up leaving early and going to Forest Hill to allow everyone to play together.

The facility is wonderful and close to my house but we will not return.

Today was the first day our almost 4 month old Sheltie male puppy went to a dog park. He really enjoyed it, my two daughters and I were really impressed with the beautiful fenced in areas where so many dogs can have a great time playing and socializing together. I just wished that it were closer to our house, as we live in Prince George. However, we will be returning on a regular basis. The volunteers who work there are very nice and caring people. It is super clean, as well.

Excellent Dog Park

This park is wonderful!!!!! I have recently found out there is an association (non profit)and have joined. We have been trying to do fund raising to make the park more enjoyable for parents/owners of our four legged friends and provide more for the pups. We recently have had more benches made for our comfort, purchased more toys and instead of the scoopers, now have bags. Please join our association for our little four legged family members, there are no fees and we could use all the help we can get. We meet once a month, normally on Thursdays.

Very clean and good dog park! My dogs love it and have even had their picture taken with the milkbone people when they came there. There are also plenty of trails to walk around before or after your dog plays in the fenced in area.

good park for dogs in Chesterfield

This park is sectioned into two parts separated by a fence that is usually locked. Its kind of on a hillside, but good for dogs to run anyway. It has a high fence, way over my head. Its smaller than barker field. Water can be carried from a nearby hose in summer. In winter bring your own. There is no shady areas, but there are a few places to sit. Its inside a larger park where you could walk your dog as well. Its simple but functional.
