Dog Park Tour!

On a nice summer day - why not go run in dog parks!?! We decided to go see the progress at the Indianola Dog Park - not quite ready for puppies. It looks like the large and small dog areas will have room for lots of puppies!

Afterwards, we went to the Raccoon River Dog Park - lots of room to romp - but some standing water makes for muddy pups!








Oh, dear! We can't play yet!








The fences are ready, but work continues








The small dog area is near the road on the west side









The entrance has gates to both the large and small dog areas.








The dog park has some nice mature trees to provide shade.


















There is lots of room for puppies to play!








The pond is outside the dog area!

Lots of scents to investigate

Look, Mom!









Other dogs are enjoying the weather, too!








These furry dogs seek shade, too

Let's review the rules...









Gracie discovers she's too tall for the small dog area.
