If you own a dog, you know the importance of keeping your dog exercised and socialized! Dog parks are a great place to do these things and let your dog run free, and many municipalities in Newfoundland have been seeing how valuable these parks are to residents with dogs.
Traditional playgrounds, ball fields, and other parks are not suitable for pets to run and play, so having the proper facilities is important.
