Maybe your dog is like Libby and likes to get out and frolic off leash with furry friends. Most towns have leash laws, so in order to avoid potential citations, you may want to take your pup to the Wethersfield Dog Park.
Located at Mill Woods park, there is a dedicated, fenced-in section of the park solely for dog play. With about an acre of space, dogs are free to run and play to their hearts content in a lightly wooded area. There are plenty of picnic tables and benches for owners to sit safely at while the dogs race around. If you have a small dog, no worries, there is a separate section for them so they won’t be overwhelmed by the larger hounds.
Make sure you read the rules before you go, and most importantly, your dog needs to be dog friendly! A couple of tips…
1. The park is busiest in the morning before work hours and after 6:00pm weekdays. If you’re not sure how your dog will react to the experience, try to visit at a less busy time- during the middle of a weekday or on the weekend.
2. No food allowed, for dogs or people!
3. Bring some water for your pup. Racing around is tiring business.
4. Stay out of the way of the dogs. They are there to play with each other, not you. If there is a pack running, they might take you out.
6. Your dog needs to be registered with your town before you can visit the park. Your town clerk should be able to help if your dog isn’t currently registered.
Have a doggone good time!
