“Super off leash on 25 acres of frenced land!!!”
Lied to then ignored...I realize that I am probably going to be one of the only people to give this place a bad review. I am temporarily visiting Jacksonville and I had high hopes my bringing my dogs here. We frequent several Texas dog parks and events and always have a ball. I noticed on the website that visitors and people visiting the park can visit at any of the office times (weekday afternoons(first noticed on website 12/07 and still up as of 2/08 under the 'Hours" section of their website)-so I went down there at of the specified times. I only had Oni with me. The woman that greeted me told me that people visiting the park (non members) can only visit on weekends. I mentioned that I was from out of town and she repeated the rule about visitors again and that it was ALWAYS their policy that ALL visitors can only visit on weekends. When I mentioned what was posted on the website she ignored me. I couldn't believe it and just stood there stunned. After waiting for an reponse as to why her policy did not match what was said on the website, she grabbed a park pamphlet and circled the weekend visitor hours on it and gave it to me. What was funny is that the handout actually states the same policy that those visiting out of state and first time visiors can go at any of the office times. I figured all of this really wasn't worth my time and left. I did however find a nice park that is closer to where I am currently staying and Oni and I made a few friends. The family members that I am living close to did warn me that people in that area can be a bit "funny" when it comes to certain types of people...it's sad really. I hate to think that people can be that way, but the behavior of that woman (which I later found out was the owner) left me with that impression. posted: February 4th, 2008 |
Great dog park!A perfect place for us doggies to run, run, run! |
Dogwood Park is Pawsome!Dogwood Park is a great place for doggies to play offleash! My favorite place is the fenced enclosure they have for small doggies like me! I also like when they have breed meet-ups on Sunday's! You get to meet all your long lost relatives! Then they host the pawsome fundraiser Dogtoberfest in October! What a fun place to hang out at and meet other doggie frineds! |
