Once you’ve chosen a park, make sure you bring along plenty of water for your dog to drink. It’s also a good idea to bring along some food, in case your dog gets hungry during your visit. And of course, don’t forget to bring a leash! If your dog is small, you’ll want to avoid parks with large, open spaces as they can be overwhelming for your pup

Also as a responsible pet owner, it is important to be aware of your dog’s behavior at the dog park. Some dogs may be aggressive towards other dogs or people, and it is your responsibility to make sure that your dog is not causing any problems. If you see that your dog is acting aggressively, you should remove them from the situation and take them home.

It is also important to pick up after your dog at the dog park. This includes picking up their poop and disposing of it properly. Leaving your dog’s poop at the park is not only gross, but it can also spread disease. So do your part and clean up after your dog!

While there are many more options for dog parks in the city we hope this article was useful in helping you narrow down your options. The most important thing is to find a park that is safe and clean, and that has amenities that fit your needs.
