I
am
a
professional
dog
park
reviewer,
and
this
was
my
first
visit
to
this
dog
park
(which
has
the
official
name
of
"Bark
N
Play
Dog
Park")
since
it
opened
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
in
Bonita
Springs.
It
is
pretty
good.
It
has
three
sections,
based
on
the
size
of
the
dog
(which
I
don't
agree
with,
I
prefer
to
see
the
sections
based
on
the
dog's
demeanor
and
play
style)
--
small,
medium
and
large.
All
sections
were
spacious.
I
was
glad
to
see
that
the
city
had
not
wasted
money
on
traditional
dog
agility
equipment.
All
three
sections
had
small
rock
outcroppings
added
which
dogs
naturally
like
to
jump
on
plus
they
served
as
casual
seating
for
the
humans.
Another
negative
was
that
each
section
was
equipped
with
picnic
tables,
a
big
no-no
inside
dog
parks.
There
were
some
benches.
There
were
trees
that
were
not
yet
mature,
so
there
is
not
yet
enough
natural
shade
--
I
would
have
liked
to
see
each
section
have
one
manmade
shade
structure
until
the
time
years
down
the
road
that
they
new
trees
mature.
There
was
a
dual
species
(dog
and
human)
water
fountain
in
each
section
and
a
spray
area
outside
the
dog
parks
for
rinsing
off
dirty
dogs
before
they
get
in
their
owner's
cars.
Each
section
had
two
poop
bag
dispensers
--
I
would
have
liked
to
see
a
third
in
the
back
of
each
section,
and
an
additional
waste
container
in
the
back
of
each
section
if
you
want
dog
owners
to
comply
with
scooping
the
poop.
The
ground
cover
was
a
mix
of
grass
and
mulch,
which
worked
out
nicely.
No
restrooms
for
the
humans,
which
is
why
I
only
rated
it
four
stars.
There
was
a
fair
sized
off-street
parking
lot,
which
they
will
probably
want
to
enlarge
later
to
handle
cars
during
the
busy
dog
park
times.
Overall,
it
is
a
nice
complex.
Very
cool
dog
themed
art
at
the
entrance
to
the
park,
too.
