Let’s see TOP 1 Park–Freedom Bark Park: “This park has been possible only through generous donations of time, money, and equipment — and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.”the park user Lynn V. said.The dog park’s volunteers donated more than 2,700 hours of service to build the park, from farmers who tilled the land and planted grass seed to the high-school art teacher who painted the park’s decorative fire hydrant. I think it is major reason for the success of this dog park. Good Dog Parks supply more comfort and nice service for dogs and dog lovers. Most dog parks are built exclusively with dogs in mind. Of course, it is a wonderful thing , but must be considered the dog lovers too.
