A few years ago a group of dog owners approached the Town about providing a safe place where dogs could play and get exercise while not on a leash. In December 2004, more than 60 residents attended a meeting that the Town arranged for public input. The Cary Dog Park Club has hosted several "Dog Park for a Day" events that the Town sponsored. Club members have held the events to demonstrate how a dog park would work and to help raise money for one.
As a result of the residents effort, a wonderful new dog park in the Triangle area has opened. This dog park is located at 2050 North West Marynard near the corner of Chapel Hill Road and Maynard. The town of Cary's first dog park will provide a place for dog owners to let their pets run free safely and legally without a leash. The park is approximately 1 acre in size. Pet owners can purchase memberships or day passes at any Cary, NC community centers. An electronic gate will allow members/day guests through. Please see the fee schedule below.

My dog Maggie is really hyper so I like to take her here and sometimes to doggie day care at Town & Country in Cary - both are her favorite things to do.
Do you have a dog park in your town? What do you think of this concept? Does this sound typical of Cary? Tell me your thoughts.
