Why are dog parks so great?

  1. To see your fur baby have the time of his life – running at full speed, zig zagging with other dogs, playing fetch – all without the constraint of a leash.
  2. Socializing with pet parents – sharing training tips, vet and groomer recommendations and just talking about the weather.
  3. Human and canine heading home mentally refreshed and physically tired.

FVR has hosted Tails and Trails group walks on the greenway for owners with leashed dogs. With the fenced park we are looking forward to Bark in the Park events with contests, pet education stations, rescue groups and more.
