点评:We have enjoyed this off leash dog park for almost 9 years. It’s well treed, a great size and has good parking. It’s definitely Finn’s (our golden doodle’s ) happy place. Paved trails are looped and join the larger trail system so you have options for walking and biking. There are small ponds that do get blue algae as the summer progresses but there is always good access to the river if your dog likes to swim. You need control of your dog especially near the river as it can be dangerous, particularly when the ice is melting.
We go in all seasons to walk and picnic and we experience lovely encounters with all kinds of dogs and their owners. We have also enjoyed several moose and beaver sightings. It’s a great place for birds including eagles, osprey, woodpeckers, ducks and geese.
Downside? The park is a little rough around the edges and is in need of an upgrade. Pit toilets are run down and hard to use if you have mobility issues but they are cleaned regularly. There is no drinking water. Picnic tables are pretty worn out. There are a fair number of good benches when you want a break.
Overall, it’s a real gem. I congratulate the City of Red Deer for realizing that dog parks are well used people parks 365 days of the year. As such they are worthy of a decent land allocation.
翻译:我们在这个可以放开牵绳的狗狗公园已经玩了快九年了。公园绿树成荫,面积宽敞,停车也很方便。这里绝对是芬恩(我们的金毛贵宾犬)的乐园。铺设好的步道呈环形,与更大的步道系统相连,因此您可以选择步行或骑自行车。公园里有一些小池塘,随着夏季的到来,可能会滋生蓝藻,但如果您的狗狗喜欢游泳,随时都可以方便地去河边玩耍。您需要看好您的狗狗,尤其是在河边,因为那里可能很危险,特别是冰雪融化的时候。
我们一年四季都会来这里散步和野餐,每次都会遇到各种各样的狗狗和它们的主人,非常愉快。我们还曾多次看到驼鹿和海狸。这里也是鸟类的天堂,包括鹰、鱼鹰、啄木鸟、鸭子和鹅。
缺点?公园的设施略显粗糙,需要进行一些升级改造。旱厕比较破旧,行动不便的人使用起来不太方便,但会定期清理。没有饮用水。野餐桌也比较陈旧。休息时有不少不错的长椅。
总的来说,这里真是个好地方。我祝贺红鹿市政府意识到,狗公园一年365天都是人们经常光顾的公共公园。因此,它们值得获得足够的土地。
