Area dog parks and other parks:

*Disclosure: dog parks are generally not recommended by Odyssey; there are concerns with unacceptable dog and human behaviors that put everyone at risk and there are often health concerns related to feces not being properly removed from the play area. With that being said, sometimes a dog park is the only viable opportunity for your dog(s) to run and be dogs, so please be aware and advocate for your dog's best interest.
