Heard this dog park opened recently in TV but was wondering what it is like? Is it fenced in? How big is it? When is it open? Does it have separate areas for big and small pooches??

It is a large fenced area with a seperation for big and small dogs. 2 days ago, it was still locked and closed. I heard that a covered pavilion area for human guests is to be built and gaps under the fence need to be filled with cement so we don't have escapees. I will post when I see it has opened!

Thanks Rokinronda for the information. Was thinking of taking my dog Sport there while Doggie Doo Run Run is closed this Memorial Day but that now does not seem to be an option.

Sport would still enjoy the other dogs that meet there by the pond. There are a couple of picnic tables for relaxing, and trash receptacles for disposing of......you know......................... The leash law signs are posted, but doggies come all day long to meet up and play.

I drove by this dog park a few days ago. It is about 3/4s of an acre and has two sections which are fenced in with a chain link fence. It is on the side of the archery range away from where the arrows are usually pointed as far as I can tell.

It is at the south end of Paradise Drive near Lake Paradise. That is just off of Wales Plaza. Avenida Central becomes Wales Plaza across from 27/441.

Today's Daily Sun had an article in the lifestyles section on this. It said that the Recreation Department will host the grand opening at 9 A.M., June 9 at Paridise Rec Center. Petco and The Village Groomer will be on hand to give away product samples, cupons and prizes. The park will be open 7 a.m. till dusk seven days a week. It is for Village residents and those guests with proper I.D. cards only. So Says The Daily Sun.

I think it is fantastic they are opening a dog park on the eastern side of TV. I'm hoping in the future they will consider a second dog park in a more central location. Hey, maybe one of the buffalo fields!

I am soooo happy about the new dog park,as I live so close to it. I had been driving all the way to Doggie Do Run in the past.

But Bare, how will we get together for our gab fests?? :dontknow:

[Barefoot]

Nonie, Brutus and Biggins are telling me that now they want to move over to Historical. Don't know how they found out about the new dog park, they must have learned how to read.

Fireboy goes to the Archery Range a lot, so I'm sure I'll see you in Paradise.

[nONIE]

Hey Bare,

That made my day! Hope it happens for you! (and me too) Im am sure Rokinronda will agree with me that there are many pluses to living on the Historical side. Personally I just love it there, but now Engineer guy is thinking mabe we should move over to the other side of 441!! :dontknow: I give up!

Oh wow! This is such great news. If my husband and I find a rental property for July and August our pet Willy will be with us - he already goes to a dog park up here in the Boston area. Curious though, is there a pond or such for the dogs to cool off???

[nONIE]

Tripngirl,

Yes there is a pond very near the new doggie park but I have never seen a dog in any water retention pond in TV mainly because of the danger of alligators/It just isnt worth the risk!

[Barefoot]

There is a plastic wading pool in the Big Dog Section at Doggie Doo Run Run on CR 101, the private dog park. Puny little thing I know, but the dogs seem to love it, especially the Labs!! And no gators.

Doggie Doo Run Run is putting in a small pool for the small dogs in the small dog section. It will be fenced in so that people who do not want their pooches to jump in will have a choice in the matter. This should be done soon. I think they are waiting on shipment of a water pump to finish up with the pool.

Thanks for the info. Ya, alligators...no, I don't think "Willy" will want to make friends with
them...but we definitely will use the dog park :0)
