It's a Walk in the Park!

Sara meeting new friend at the dog park.
   Sara is not much for playing around with other dogs, but on occasion I still feel the need to keep her exposed to other people and their pets. So, I bring her to "Mizner Dog Park"  located in Boca Raton on Military Trail and Banyan Trail.

   This place has many great features that make you and your pet feel at ease while they are off leash.

   There are three areas of the park based on weight, so you don't have to worry about the 120 lbs. Great Dane trying to play with your 6 lb. Chihuahua. In case you forget to bring everything you need for a day at the dog park, don't stress because the dog park has you covered with the necessities like doggie bags and fountains. There are three doggie bag stations located within each area, so you don't have to worry about walking a great deal to get the bag and then coming back. Another great feature are the fountains. There are three filtered. fountains located in each area, but it's not just for the dogs but also for adults and children.
                                                                    

"Mizner Dog Park"
  The park is very well kept due to the maintenance crew that comes in every Wednesday morning (the park is closed til 12 p.m. due to maintenance). While in the park, the maintenance crew also spays for fleas and ticks, and the best part is that it is safe for animals.

  

   For the owners, there are covered areas with benches, so you don't have to worry about standing in the sun while your dog(s) play.

   However, there are a few examples of the requirements made by the City of Boca Raton:

 1) You must clean up after your dog
 2) Do not bring aggressive dogs
 3) Do not bring children under 4 yrs old (Dogs will  
      rough house, and accidents do happen)
 4) No Food or Drink 
 5) Must have parking pass to parking in front of the park
See you there!
