This is great to hear! My wife and I bought a house down in the south end of TV and were worried we'd have to golf car the dog quite a ways to get the nearest dog park. Worry no more!

Now if only a Costco, a Trader Joes and a "Mongolian Barbecue"-style restaurant would come to town before we move there, there'll be no reason for us to ever go down to Orlando. Well, other than outlet malls. Nothing's going to keep the wife away from those forever!

She called after they received my check and it sounded as if we got our first choice which was the small dog park. She is going to mail my receipt and I should know more after I get it!

During my run today, I took a picture of the new dog park, small dog section. There were quite a few benches already installed. They were not there earlier this week.

Anyway four of them, closest to the entrance had the �name� plates installed. The gate was locked so I didn�t try to get closeup photos. This photo, looking from the gate end shows those four benches and how they are located in the small dog section. The benches on the far end did not have name plates on them.

Hope this helps you.

Thank you for taking the picture. The park looks really nice. I can't wait to see it in person. The best part is that the park isn't too far from our house! Thanks again!

And that is just the section for small dogs There is an adjacent section, same size, for large dogs, a nice winding walkway from the parking area and a great view of Lake Deaton(?)/marshes.

It is a really nice, peaceful area.

Very impressive dog park! Too bad there aren't about 6 more. Actually each district should have there own dog parks IMO. Ok dog haters blast away

Do a search on dog parks. There are all kinds of posts finding fault with the other parks. I predict the whiners will complain about this one too. Just wait!

Hopefully that will not happen, because the residents had a lot of say in the development of this park.

There are faults with various dog parks in the Villages. Too small, rules very lax in enforcement, and with the Paradise Park dog park it is still mostly dirt.

Doggie Doo Run Run is still the best in size, there is some enforcement of rules but they seem to go on a case-by-case basis taking into account the dogs' and people's personalities. They know the people and dogs that go there as they take a very active role in eventually getting to know them while also giving them space.

I will be interested in visiting the CR466A dog park though probably just to scope it out when returning to or from Brownwood.

Where is it in relationship to Brownwood?

Oh. Well, you could be right.

Of course he is correct . So much so that you could not find anyone who has been here longer than a week who would be willing to bet against his prediction .

The only question is : How soon after the " official opening " of the new area will it take before someone begins the first Thread and Post complaining about one or a multiple of issues .

Now in " Vegas " or " London " one just might be able to create a series of betting opportunities such as :

1] Timing of the first complaint .
2] Subject of the first complaint .
3] Ultimate length of the initial Thread .
4] Subject of the first " We Need a New Rule " Thread or Post .
And so on .
