55This really is one of our favorite sniff spots to bring our Husky and Pit/Shepherd mix to. The fences are solid, there's no gaps, our mad hops escape artist husky can't get out and is safe to let play and run on his own (which is very rare for us to trust at most dog parks that only have 3-5 foot fences), the owners are amazing, it's clean and upkept, the entrance has a taller primary gate before you go through the secondary gate of the actual open space private dog paradise, I could go on and on honestly 😂 checkout upcoming TikToks from our most recent trip here @psychedelicpracticeAlison W.
