10 Ways to Turn Your Local Dog Park Into a Dream Retreat
Opt for Faux Turf
Replace grass with synthetic turf that's durable and safe for dogs, making maintenance easier — and reducing the presence of fleas.
Consider a Dog Wash
Add a wash station with a spray hose, so people can rinse their pups following a day of play.
Offer Hydration Stations
Install water fountains for both people and dogs — and equip the park with extra water bowls.
Keep Poop in Check
Make it convenient for people to pick up their pets’ deposits by installing dispensers with degradable poop bags, and have plenty of trash receptacles.
Think of Senior Pets
Design a sanctuary for older dogs who prefer to hang out in a quiet, shady section — and out of the path of rowdy youngsters.
