Hi, we purchased our home back in 2004. The huge norway spruce tree by the house was the only tree on the property. We have done all the landscaping, flower beds, fencing, etc. ourselves. We have always had dogs so we wanted a space where our four legged children could have lots of space to play and hang out. Our backyard area is our own private oasis, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do !

Ashley's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Magnolia Park

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

Fully fenced in half acre yard. 4ft chain link fence. Plenty of excellent sniffing available as we have our own pups and regularly foster for a local rescue! We intend to add fun things to our spot throughout the summer as well. Quite neighbors. Only 2 small dogs on the south side of our yard that are rarely out, but are little oldies that shouldn'tbother you. Enjoy our patio to watch your dog(s) play! We will also have a vegetable garden & cut flower garden throughout the year with hopefully extras to share :)
