Not a clean park

Broad Ripple Bark Park

I *really* wish this was a nicer park because it's so conveniently located and my dog loves going, but it's lacking in many ways (cleanliness being the biggest one). It's a pretty large park, which means lots of space for the dogs to run, but it also means that dogs are verrrrry frequently using the bathroom all over the park and many many owners do not seem to clean up after their dogs. This not only makes it gross for the owners to walk around, it's also really unsanitary and unsafe for the dogs. My dog has picked up several parasites from this park (I am told by my vet that it was most likely the shared water bowls, but the poo everywhere doesn't help) and very often you leave there with dog poo on your shoes. There are groups of owners who come at the same time and socialize as opposed to watching their dog (which, of course it's great to socialize), but often their dogs are the ones leaving piles around the park. I have heard of many dog parks requiring stool samples so that they can easily identify the offenders, and even though that may seem a bit extreme, I would welcome it because the lack of cleanliness is really out of control in this park.
