Dog Park combines exercise with socialization...and not just for the dogs!

For those of us who live in Lakewood, we are very fortunate to have a wonderful dog park for our furry friends. With a gorgeous backdrop of the foothills west of W470, this park is located next to the upscale Solterra development just off the Alameda Parkway. 

When we first started taking our dog, Jake (border collie/sheepdog mix) to the park, he was a little timid and intimidated by some of the larger dogs. Today, he grabs his leash to let us know that it is time for him to visit his buddies at the park. Size means nothing anymore and he enjoys interacting with all of the dogs....the more the merrier.

While the dogs are playing, we humans have a great opportunity to get to know each other as well...

The views are incredible....though I don't think the dogs care a bit!

My husband Jim races Jake up the hill....guess who wins?

Emelyn, great park!  The view is outstanding and it looks like it is great place for dogs and people to meet and mingle!

Tony and Darcy - the park is truly remarkable and our dog, Jake, starts getting excited within a mile of the place....he knows the different routes we take to get there....he absolutely loves it. Most of the dogs are very friendly, in fact, we have only once had to leave because of a couple of aggressive dogs...they seem to have the attitude of "let's all get along."  People could learn a lot from these dogs!
