Visitors can see a couple of shaded spots as well but not enough. But the wide dog area actually has some grass. The small dog area has plenty of grass so the bigger dogs don't work as hard.
There are about 5 dispensers for poop bags and each one is nearly full every time. They even got new softer wood chips. They have a pair of water buckets. Some of them are kind of filthy but just go with the clean ones. They have built a pair of benches and a picnic table with cement.The ground is grassy. Little bitches can have plenty of room to run and play.
For people who love to exercise with their dogs, they can walk a couple of laps or even run if they want. The shaded area can be a resting place after sweating a little. Dogs here are sweet, and people too.
