Fun at the Dog Park
The Aiken Dog Park has proven to be very popular, in spite of opening it during a time of year when the weather never seemed to cooperate. However, it appears that our dogs don’t mind a little cold weather, rain or mud when they get a chance to run around and play with new friends in a big park.
So far, around 200 people have purchased a tag for their pets to come out to our more than 2-acre dog park on Willow Run Road in Aiken, the site where our new facility will be built. The park is open to anyone regardless of where they live, and so far more than half of the memberships are from outside of Aiken City limits in places such as Graniteville, New Ellenton, Barnwell and Ridge Spring.
The splash pool has turned out to be a favorite feature of the park. Dogs are diving in the pool, chasing a tennis ball or playing with a buddy they just met. Some dive in even when part of the pool iced over during our last cold snap.
Three o’clock in the afternoon seems to be “prime time” during the week. I’ve counted more than 20 dogs and their owners at the park at one time. We’ve been very happy that so far, everyone has behaved and played nice. It is a lot of fun to watch big groups of dogs running up and down the hills, diving through the pool, all in pursuit of a ball or Frisbee. We see a lot of regular visitors that visit nearly every day. Full Story…..
