I Don't Like this Park

Though the setting is nice and it's a reasonable size for inactive dogs, this park is mean. The dogs here have been stuck at home all day, probably in crates and when their owners bring them the dogs are hyper. Owners are often on their phones and unaware of what their dogs are doing. The common water bowl gave my old Golden awful herpes-like blisters (or warts) that the vert had to finally remove. There is no grass, just filthy mulch. A nice attempt was made to provide rocks to climb on, but it doesn't make up for the fact that the area is fenced in with a black chainlink fence that dogs rarely approach. Owners often just gather under the covered porch sitting bored while their dogs hangout under the picnic table there.

Maryland is ranked 40th in the country for dog friendliness. This park is one of Montgomery County's best efforts for dog owners. That's very sad.
