South End Multipurpose Park — Attraction in Bath

I cannot say enough about how wonderful this dog park is!!!! When we first got our pup we didn't know where to take him to socialize with other dogs, but we found a great place at South End. The people who bring their pups are generally very nice and so are their dogs! It has good parking normally, but sometimes there are people fishing on the pier and they take up all the parking! :( they provide trashcans and bags to pickup after your dogs.
