Do you know of a good off leash park for future meet-ups? I've never been to an off-leash park before. |
The problem I find with off-leash dog parks is that they are only suitable for short visits. Most of them have no benches, no toilets, very little if any shade. I actually did a search on the web for dog parks in Orange County, and the two I found (suitable for small dogs), were very limited in their facilities - just a grassy area really and very little else. Parks like the Yorba Regional, and others have tons of grassy areas for puppy dashes
, walkways, benches, a lake, BBQ's, gazeboes/ shady spots,children's play areas, rest rooms, many trees, water fountains, etc, etc.
A plain dog park I would not mind going to for a short time, but anything over 45 mins, and my backside would need to hit a seat...LOL... thirst would need to be quenched
, and potty breaks (for me not the Yorkies) would be inevitable (and I don't do Porta-potties.
) For people driving a longer distance, I think staying only such a short time due to discomfort, would be a pity.
