If you’re anything like me, I treat my dogs as if they were my very own children. And just like children, they need a place where they can get out and play and interact with other fur babies like themselves. Here is a list of unique dog parks throughout Indiana.
Waggin’ Tails Bark Park
Located within Louis J. Jenn Memorial Park, Waggin’ Tails Bark Park has the things that make our four-legged friends happy. Here you can find obstacle training equipment, benches and even a double-bubbler fountain that serves not only canines but humans as well.
