I don't even have a dog park near me no less one as nice as that - there's room to hike within the dog park?
We are very fortunate to have a great dog park in our area. It is 2500 acres of fields and woods so there is plenty of room for everyone. Sometimes we hike the trails or sometimes we go to the big field to play with all the other dogs.

A lot of rich people in the area came up with the idea that if they made their property a park, they wouldn't have to pay taxes. In order to qualify for a park, they had to have so many people come every year. There were not enough people who rode horses to qualify so they opened it up as an off leash dog park. The place always has a crowd now. Of course there is one problem with it, we have to share it with horses and they don't clean up after themselves very well. They stay out of the fields and some of the hiking trails though so it's not that bad.
