As spring thaws go, this has been a very easy one.
Unlike past years, when the melted snowpack created huge soupy areas on the main grounds adjacent to the parking lot, it’s now completely dry, thanks to a slow thaw during our recent rains.
There may be a few soft, muddy areas near the marsh, but by [...]
The spring melt is on its way. Balmy afternoon temperatures are creating huge puddles by the main gate and field adjacent to the MAC building parking lot.
Your best bet for staying dry is to hit the park first thing in the morning, when overnight temps have refrozen the icy patches. If you come when it’s [...]
What a beautiful winter wonderland! The frozen lake allows many long trails (thanks, trail blazers) that provide a great workout. Thanks to all who are pickup poop. Unfortunately it is looking rather typical for this time of year. The poop is hard to pick up when it is left and has [...]
Beautiful day at the park today, after too many gloomy, wet days this week. Small puddles here and there on the main property, but beware the marsh. There are black, mucky areas just inside the cattails–out of an owner’s sight, but the tantalizing stench can easily lure in a dog for a satisfying dip. (I’m [...]

fence line to minimize the threat of vehicle intrusions.
Use caution! There may be workers and openings in [...]
Thanks to last week’s snowfall, conditions are perfect again at the dog park. The snowpack is walkable and still relatively dry and fluffy. Today is sunny and temperatures are near 30, so get out and enjoy the winter we have left!
Very poor conditions today. The melting snowpack has turned into glossy ice so slick even the dogs are wiping out on it. You’ll want your YakTrax today for sure.
There are patches of exposed grass here and there. Best place to throw a ball is at the top of the hill by the runway.
Keep [...]
If you don’t mind the cold, conditions are perfect at the park right now. Snow is powdery, making for decent traction, and still shallow enough for easy walking. The ground is virtually covered with relatively new snow, so no matter how much wrestling and rolling around your dog may do, he’ll still be clean when [...]
