Urbana Dog Park- Urbana, Illinois- It's Clean Up Day!
The Urbana Dog Park is a 10-acre fenced-in space in northeast Urbana where you can take your dog to run free. And believe me, your dog will love you for it.
It's the largest dog park I've ever been to, by far, and arguably the best. Most of the park is one big, open meadow, though there are a few trees centrally-located to offer a little shade. Additionally, there are a few park benches to accommodate the dogs' people, a water station, and plastic baggies available for you-know-what.
The only catch is that you have to be a member to bring your dog there, or pay a small fee for a one-time visit. Membership, however, is only around $40/year for residents and it's very easy to obtain. In my opinion, the fee is well worth it simply because the park is so well-maintained and my dog absolutely loves this place.
Today I'll be heading over to the park without my dog...today is clean up day. A few times a year, members are invited to help with clean up, though it certainly isn't required. I like to help clean up for the chance to meet the people who have made this park so wonderful, and because I want to see this park remain as wonderful as it is!
So, before heading off to clean-up duty, I'll leave you with a little video I took last time I was at the dog park with my husband and our rescue dog, Sienna. She's a fairly large dog, but notice how she manages to find the little ones to tease...if only she realized that she's not a lap dog.
You'll see from the video how expansive the park is...
