Jackson Downtown Dog Walk — Attraction in Jackson

The space is nice, there is clean drinking water available, a wash tub, plenty of seating, waste bags, and trees to provide much needed shade in the summer. Parking confused me a bit but wasn't a big deal. I couldn't give it 5 stars because it seems like some pet parents are irresponsible and don't clean up after their dogs. Thankfully my pups have got the "leave it" command down and I was able to clean up a lot of it before they treated themselves to the buffet.

Free, with dog toys. Good location. Not too busy, but usually a couple other people or dogs. Could probably use more often landscaping maintenance, but overall pretty cool. Totally fenced.
