In my quest to socialize this sweet puppy of mine I'm looking for some valley dog parks.
Any ideas? |

Well, there's a new one in Page, but that doesn't help you much, does it? _________________ Anywhere is within walking distance if you spend the time. |

I think I saw something in the newspapers a while back about new dog parks in Tempe, Gilbert and/or Mesa, just can't remember. You might try calling the Parks Offices in these cities for info. I know they exist but just not where. _________________ Wanderingsoul (Michelle)

Hey Suz...
The north east corner of Ray and Greenfield rds; it's Cosmo park. It has a large fence area that gives dogs access to the pond or drinking fountains.... Great playground toys for us too--or maybe the kids but who's watching?!? _________________ All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them...Walt Disney |

Jenna Jameson has a place called "Doggy Style," not sure if Sadie would like it though. Gitterdun. _________________ "Much is not dared because it seems hard, much seems hard because it is not dared" |

Hooli's RV. Just park your puppy there. Richie Rich can mentor around social skills, but remember Richie has the Master Suite so your puppy will have to stay in the guest bed. Hooli gets the lawn chair...again.
P.S. Be sure to get your puppy's menu requests in early so Hooli can get the shopping done. |

This one was rated the #1 Dog Park in the country awhile back ( I think) |

Cosmo Park is the best dog park around by far, but I do not know if it has reopened. Last I heard they had been remolding it while the weather was hot. Bear and I hit the park once or twice a month in the winter months.
If you go, check out the coffee shop and/or Joe’s Farm grill they are just off to the west of the park entrance. I think it is the first right turn on baseline (coming from Highley).

Rob, Sadie and I might be at that Dog Park in Page sooner that you would think. Send a link or pictures if you can.
I guess that's another question---which restaurants are dog friendly? |

COMO'S was a great dog park, thanks for the suggestion.
Sadie and I went there on Saturday to meet up with a friend and his dog. We stayed for hours. At first Sadie had her tail tucked up to her belly button but within 15 minutes she was playing and greeting strangers. The parking lot for the park was full, lots of ticketed cars in the gravel area, paramedics, fire department hard at work for something that happened, plenty of dogs (50+) and plenty of pee-mail for Sadie to read.
The park is set up nicely. Shade ramadas at one end with grills and a kids park area. There are three fenced dog areas--about 4 acres of park. One section has the lake that Sadie laid in. There is a ramp that many dogs were running on and launching into the water to catch balls. Another section had some agilty contraptions for the dogs to climb, jump through, walk over or around as the case may be with my dog. There are a few people benches and the trees are still very small. The park appears to be well lit and is open from 6am to 10pm.
I am curious about all the uncleaned up dog stuff and wonder how that gets handled.
We loved the place and will go back soon. She's one tired pup today! |

Did it seem full with that many dogs? Also was there not enough parking for everyone and that was why all the cars were getting tickets?
Just curious.... |
