Kindred Wind6 months ago

REALLY nice park space! Dog park is behind the barn at the Capen-Reynolds historic site. Mulch and peastone ground cover, with concrete pads at the entry. Water bubbler in the entrance space, shade structure and shade from trees keep the place cool and the rocks and trees make great obstacles for the pups. There's a nice platform made from Trex beams to stay unmuddy in the winter and spring. Trash and bags at the entrance as well.
