The upgraded playground includes pathways and features that have greater accessibility for children with disabilities and who use mobility devices. Our son uses a walker and he was able to walk from the parking lot down to the playground by himself, which makes him so happy and gives him confidence. We are so grateful for Mills River for being inclusive of children with disabilities! They even have signage reminding patrons to respect disability parking spaces - amazing!

We like barkmore very much. They are always helpful and flexible. We had to leave town fast, one step ahead of the sheriff. Called barkmore they said we just closed for the day (11:00am on a Saturday), but we can wait til you get here. As for what goes on behind the scene, my dog won't say. All she says is , first rule of fight club.... She did get a nice bath before we picked her up, so all good
