hmmm ya know I read some more on the park and I think my mom was just overly impressed by the dogpark in Calgary which I guess is huge, runs through the city, has several sections, and is so big you could hike for hours in it and not even make it through the whole thing, she said their is even a wooded section where she saw some people doing some sort of hunting training with their labs. from what I read the new dogpark her is not as bad as my mom makes it sound, I mean it is small in comparison to the Calgary one, but good greif its 18 acers, they plan to fully fence the area, add grabages, and other anmetitys to fix it up. I dunno I think maybe my mom just does not like that you cant really go anywhere like she could in calgary. but then again I dont really know lol I have not actually seen the place myself, and its not going to open till next spring.
