We are so fortunate. I would say there are at least 6 parks within 20 minutes from where I live. AND, we just found an off leash nature preserve, which is fantastic! We can hike on this trail, and we run into some people with dogs, some without dogs, and there must be horses, based on the deposits I see time to time. It is so awesome to get out and about with Jasper not on a leash.
