A Dog Park Is Beneficial To A Community
Dog Parks are being build throughout Chicago. Why not the 11th Ward? The volunteers for the McKinley Park Dog Advisory Counsel have successfully proven a Dog Park is beneficial to their community. Not only are their dogs having a blast running around playing in their own Park specifically designed for their fun and safety, but incredible events are also taking place at the Dog Park that helps bring their community together.
A dog park is a designed public area where dogs can safely and legally socialize, play, and exercise off-leash…They are becoming increasingly popular thanks to responsible pet owners and community agencies and officials who realize their important role in improving not only the quality of life for the dogs but for us all.
