Hot Springs Bark Park — Attraction in Hot Springs

I'm a new dog owner (as an adult). Also only had two dogs through my childhod and both were dachshunds. My new dog (have had her 2 months now) is much bigger, so my first big dog as well. I make a point to take her here at least 2 or 3 times a week. My niece and boyfriend love to pick her up and take her so she ends up getting to go a lot. Today was the first time I've gone and there has been many other dogs and dog owners. I'd say 6 or 7 dogs. Everyone I've ever met has been super friendly and she really had a blast today.

My dog loves the water so I always let her get inside and play a bit in the creek. There is also a lot of really nice, beautiful trails you can walk (on...

We have stopped coming. The park is way too small. The same three algae-covered buckets have been used for water for at least three years. There’s no space for dogs to get away from each other if they need a break. My dog has literally been attacked by a smaller dog who the owner says “does that all the time”. Multiple times I’ve been there and people have told me that their dog is actually a stray they just picked up and brought here to “get socialized”. Dogs covered in ticks and fleas, unvaccinated dogs. The park is just too small and it’s great for small dogs, but it’s seriously lacking for a city...
