Dog Park No. 3

March 7, 2009

Sandy Creek Park, GA

I am lucky enough to live a 6 mile drive fom beautiful Sandy Creek Park, a 630-acre recreational park that also has several fenced-in off-leash areas for dogs. One of the dog parks is free, and the other three are for rent at the cost of $ 1 per dog per hour; at the check in we are handed the key and a stainless steel water bowl (there is a well pump). The largest one is 3 acres of grassy field intersected by a small patch of woods. This is the one we love the most. Below is a photo of one half of dog park no. 3, and you can see a very small silhouette of Tessa on the field.

I really love this concept. I have grown to dislike public dog parks which I find very unstable at least in this town, with incidents increasing as both the student and resident population grows.

At the Sandy Creek dog parks, we can choose to have the area for ourselves, or we can share it with friends and their dogs that we know. As a matter of fact, we are planning to hold a Jubilee reunion here one of these days with sister Tink and half-brother Porter.
