Wiggly Field Dog Park — Attraction in Lake View Township

We had such a fun little experience here with our two little dogs! The park had some small plastic pools for the dogs to jump in, a hose for water, a water dish, benches for owners to sit on, and some big trees that provided some partial shade from the heat.
