A dog park is a facility set aside for dogs and their owners to exercise and play off-leash in a controlled environment. Parks vary in accoutrements, but a typical dog park is fenced; has separate, double-gated entry and exit points; a pond for swimming; hydrants for watering dogs; and tools to pick up and dispose of animal waste. In Australia, dog parks have water taps rather than hydrants, garden benches and mature trees for shade. Pet ownership in the United States increased by over 1 million households between 1990 and 1992, up to 54 million, or 58% of all U.S. households. Of the pet-owning households, 38% included dogs. The number of dogs per dog-household was 1.5, totally 53.3 million dogs.http://www.planjam.com/dogpark.htmlFind and review local dog parks in your neighborhood.Mon, 09 Apr 2007 18:09:03 GMT
