New Dog Park in Park West

Reprinted from Examiner.Com

On poodles, on boxers, on collies and labs! Bring them all to the brand spanking new Canine Facility, Mount Pleasant's first municipal dog park at the Park West Recreational Complex.

Nestled tightly around a pond, the fenced-in dog park gives our canine friends a chance to romp around, splash in the water, and enjoy the fresh air amongst other doggie friends. There's plenty of room for your kids to throw a ball, or just chase their favorite pal around.

And no worries, the fence keeps any local gators out of the dog area.

It's a great way to give your doggy pal plenty of free-roaming exercise and add to their quality of life, plus it's on your schedule because it's not always easy to enjoy the local beaches and their dog hours.

This dog park has rules like any other, most importantly that Dog owners must be 18 (or accompanied by an adult), dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations, waste disposal courtesies apply, and small puppies under 4 months of age are not allowed.

Other rules are posted, so be a responsible dog owner so that we can all continue to enjoy the doggie park.

Note that the park does not have separate areas to separate small and largedogs, so if that is a concern and you have a small dog, try to find a time wherethe park is not as busy, or schedule an official play group time with other smallish pooches.

Another, much larger, Dog Park is in the planning stage, purportedly to be somewhere off of Rifle Range Road.

There are other county dog parks at the James Island County Park, North Charleston Wannamaker County Park, and Mt.Pleasant Palmetto Islands County Park.
