Howard Dog Park — Attraction in Howard

Not an overly attractive dog park, but we go there because friends like it there. We have met quite a few very nice people, but have also encountered some very strange folks. There is no water provided, so make sure you bring your own. The two gates entering the dog park itself need more gravel as I have seen small dogs go underneath and escape. Whenever I walk around the park, I find piles of poop everywhere. I rarely see this at other dog parks.
