Urban Dog Parks

In many urban communities, dog parks are a necessity. Because of the high human population density in urban environments, local laws and regulations concerning dogs tend to be more strict and play space for the animals is more limited. A dog park is a a fenced area specifically for dogs to exercise off the leash while owners supervise. These locations bring dog lovers together and the humans tend to have just as much fun interacting with each other as the dogs do. They are important to the health of dogs as well as the populations around them because they not only allow the dogs to exercise, but they generate a sense of community.
