I have to admit, I thought the Dog Park was an ok idea when it was proposed primarily because we do not have any pets. However, when we kept a friend’s dog, which we both adore and want shared custody, I found the dog park to be a great place to let them run free. In season, the dogs bring their owners to Yappy Hour. The dogs catch up on all the latest news and have a glass of wine while the owners run-up to the fence and greet any new arrival. I think I have that right. Anyway, it is a great asset for Piper’s Landing Y&CC
