Emily Douglas Park — Attraction in Columbia

This is a nice little city park but if you’re looking for somewhere to take your dog for exercise, don’t bother. The dog area is completely fenced in which is nice but it’s a very small area and on the worst piece of this plot on the side where it’s basically just a partially wooded hill. It wouldn’t be as bad if it was grassier but since the area is so small and so many people take their dogs there that no grass can really grow anywhere in the dog park, so when it rains or it’s wet outside it’s all mud. There’s a part at the bottom of the hill too that takes forever to dry up. On the plus side, a lot of people do bring their pups here so it’s a great place to go if you are solely looking to socialize your dog or even meet new dog parents to befriend. It is in a great location too in the Rosewood neighborhood and is one of the only parks you can take your dog for free which makes it easily accessible and pretty close to most areas...

Then her dog tried to bite my leg and again I asked her to remove her dog , she said her dog didn't bite. She eventually left. The park itself is not big, it has two stations for water access and two...

I have brought my dog here a few times with no problem however recently I have run into issues with owners not watching their dogs and bringing dogs that are not well socialized and can be aggressive. My dog got a pretty bad bite to the neck last week to a dog that would not leave him alone despite my German Shepherd being the larger dog not fighting back at all. Bring your dog at...
