May 25 Findlay Dog Park...Be There! Please!

[moosmom]

That's the weekend of the Cat Show in Allen Park.

[Desert Arabian]

Ma (ACGAS) and I plan on going to the dog park, even tho we don't have any pooches. HEY! I could bring the ratties, they are mini dogs- they are just like big dogs. Just kidding, I wouldn't bring them (unless I got a lot of requests ).

I can't wait!!

If it was 900 miles closer....

[mugsy]

Donna does that mean that you're not coming??

[RockyRoad]

I really wish I lived closer to Ohio. But it never hurts to ask! If we did, I would not bring Lady. She is not good with other dogs, and for the safety of them, I would leave her home.

I can't wait for the PA one though.

For you Out-of-Townerz trying to find the BarkPark ~

You're looking for the "K-9 Field of Dreams Dog Park"...
Located behind Pavilion # 7,
inside the Hancock (County) Parks "Riverbend Recreation Area"...
Just SOUTH of Ohio route 568...
ON Marion Township Road 208...
about 5 miles South West from downtown Findlay, Ohio.

If you follow the instructions below (from another Thread) -
You can see and/or Print (must use a color printer) a series of Very Detailed area maps that show all the local Township, County, and State roads. You might want to shift (left & right; up & down) slightly to see all the township road Numbers and Names on the zoomed-in maps - but the zoom-in detail is excellent!

And ALL the important intersections *DO* have signs with either the Road Name or Number!! But read the WHOLE sign! As you get close - ALL the signs start with "MARION" followed by the road NUMBER! (Dad wuz thunkin there wuz a Lotta roads named "Marion".)

If you ask someone for directions - be sure to say "RiverBEND" Park - there are several other little parks in the Hancock Parks District with names starting with "River..."

** Pay attention to Routes 23 and 15 -- (if you use the southern approach)!! It "looks" like the same road (actually a highway) with both numbers - but Not So! You leave Upper Sandusky (route 30) onto Ohio 23 and OMG! 23 just morphs into Ohio 15 as you get closer to the Findlay Reservoir.

On most maps, the Findlay Reservoir appears as a rather large, square shaped Lake - south-east of the City of Findlay. Good Landmark! The Dog Park is within a quarter mile of the north-east corner of that Reservoir!

know this werkz!!

Click on their *Maps* link - you'll get a fill-in-the-blanks form ~

In "Address/Intersection" - type in "township 207 and township 208" (without the quotes).

In "City" put Findlay; in "State" put OH;
no Zippy Code required.

MapQuest will pop up a super-zoomed-in little map -
shows a square corner of the reservoir and the two roads Twp 207 & Twp 208...
Just about where the "208" block is shown is almost *Zaktly* where the BarkPark iz, just below or south of where Twp 208 hangs a 90 degree turn to the left (west)!!

You can use the "Big Map" clicker to blow things up and cut down on the ads showing... then Zoom Out to get a better idea of "where" you are.

Zoom out slowly - too many jumps and you'll be seeing half of the USA!

I wish i could be there....... Do you think we could have a meeting sometimes in July.... Or who knows i MAY be up in MI in may lol..... I really hope to be able to go to MI this summer... I'd love to meet you all. I'm afraid Simba may have to spend time the the time out area though lol.

[Cookiebaker]

Malone & I will definitely be there in spirit!! I so wished we lived closer, we'd be there in a heartbeat!!

[shais_mom]

I am not sure if anyone but Phred will be coming from the direction where 15 and 23 merge, but IF they are, PM me, and you can follow me and Keegan to the Park. I live in Upper Sandusky and drive that highway at least once a week!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

If anyone needs/wants directions from I-75, Pm me...that's the way I come in!!!

[moosmom]

Mugsy,

Well, I haven't entered my cats in the show yet, and it CAN be a little expensive ($80 for 2 entries). Let me think about it a little.

[Andie]

Ok so I didn't get my way this time we started thinking of all the bills that need to be payed (and me with no job) and the stress of an 8 hr. car trip on Bull so I think we are gonna sit this one out until we get back on our feet and Bull get use to longer car trips. We will be there in spirit I guess.

Are we doing potluck again? If we are, please let me know what to bring. I think I'm going to leave Ashley home that weekend. She seemed a little overwhelmed by all the "youngins" in the group.
