Firstly, I live within walking distance. No parking necessary. But if, by chance, it is raining and I need to get to the park, there is usually some streetside parking available on the school side. I also can try the cul de sacs, however most times these side streets are pretty crowded. w So why would I need to go the park when it’s raining? Well, just like everyone else around the area, I have a dog and I live in a townhouse. Poor puppy will wake me up at 2 am if I don’t get her good and tired. So, we go to the park. Leading into the secondly… Secondly, I have been doing this for over a year and by now, my dog has friends. Like, a lot of friends. And the humans aren’t so bad either. We, dogs adn humans, all get along swimmingly, giving both our dogs and us a chance to socialize. We share water bowls and trade dinner ideas, rosemary and training tips. It’s a responsible, playful and peaceful scene. For the kids, there is a jungle gym that can get crowded, tennis backboards, and basketball courts. Also open space for playing whatever else you can think of. It can get crowded in the afternoon with baseball practice and the A-plus kids. Also the kids can leave a lot of rubbish and snacks around that the dogs can get into, so you gotta watch that. But other than that, its a fun, sober, happy hour. See you there!
