Nice little place to bring your dog and the kids
Read more about New Harvest dog parkA lovely local park! Don't sleep on it! Separated large and small park sections along with a doggie water fountain and complimentary poo bags for both. My only complaint is the lack of community standards. PLEASE, pick up after your pet and yourselves! I spent this afternoon cleaning it up so others can enjoy this area. Thank you to the generous folks who left toys for the dogs. I added one too!
Read more about Fountain City Dog ParkEnjoyed a great day at the renaissance fair Lots of great costumes and gifts available. Fun opportunities to participate in some of the medieval contests. Saw some awesome fights with young men in the full armor outfits.
Read more about Carden Farm Dog ParkGreat little park! Such a little gem in our community! The nature trail is approx 2/3 mile and is an easy trek for low key walkers. The storybook trail and play equipment is great for young adventurers! The dog park area is spacious and has the basic amenities, but I do wish it had a more landscaped area and equipment for the dogs to play around with.
