Wiggley Field — Attraction in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

The park itself is great. My only suggestion is to add a small Pavilion inside the park for shade because June, July & August are brutally hot for both dogs and humans (there are no trees). The park provides a nice watering station which is appreciated. The people that visit are hit and miss. Some are so snobby and judgmental they take all the fun out of it. Some have no clue about dog behavior and freak out any time dogs start wrestling.
