Dog Park to Reopen on Saturday April 30, 2011

According to an email from “Top Dog,”

the Central Park Morris Dog Park will reopen on Saturday, April 30, 2011.  Let the fun rebegin.  I hope it’s true.

See ya soon,  Scraps and Rags compete at St Huberts all weekend in the season’s first agility trial.  Maybe they will make it to the dog park before it closes.  Nevertheless, great news.

2011-04-17 Denville Dog Park on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon

The sun came out on this Sunday after a very wet Saturday. Scraps and Rags wanted to enjoy the sunshine and head to the dog park. They have been to the Lewis Morris dog park recently, but with a season of dog agility trials beginning just a few week away, we decided to go to Denville so we could use the agility equipment.

When we got there we went to the small dog park where two small cute dogs were hanging out, Keo and Kaylie, or something like that.  Other new dogs we found include Mabel, so welcome to all the dogs.

On the way over to the Denville Dog Park we stopped by the dog park at Central Park and saw they have made some progress on the dog park.  There is paving and earth moving equipment in place and a gravel path has been laid.  Hopefully the new and improved dog park will be open soon.

The End.

Morris County Dog Park Closed For a Few More Weeks

We have been informed by the Morris County Park Commission that muddy conditions held up dog park repairs in late winter. Repair activities are expected to take approximately three weeks to complete and the dog park should open shortly after that.  The items being addressed at this time include:

  • parking lot expansion;
  • application of crushed stone in high use areas; and
  • re-seeding.

In the meantime, enjoy the Morris County Dog Park at Lewis Morris Park.  Additionally, you can also get some excersize and take an on-leash hike with your dog in one of Morris County’s parks.  They have many great hiking trails.  See http://www.morrisparks.net/ for more information.

Do not forget what this winter was like.

2011-04-11 Lewis Morris Dog Park After Work on Monday

Today seemed like the warmest day of the year and it was nice to get Scraps and Rags out to the dog park after work.  With the Central Park dog park still closed for renovations, more on that in a subsequent post, the Dog Park at Lewis Morris was our choice for the day.  While warm, it was cloudy and rain seem to loom on the horizon, but it never materialized.

There were a dozen or so dogs in the large dog park and that’s where we stayed the whole time.  We met a few new dogs and I welcome all them to the dog blog. Some of the dogs I recall the names of include Lucy and Toulouse.  I think I also recall a Pierre and a Candy, the cool looking sleek brown dog, but his collar says Camden.  I’m not sure what his name is now.  Nevertheless, welcome and I look forward to see you all again, hopefully in the Central Park dog park when it reopens in a few weeks.

There was also a very photogenic slobbering small white bull-type of dog with remnants of red hearts painted on him.  He seemed more like a pig than a dog but he took a great picture.
