This was a park of convenience but a little confusing. Whitney Branch Veterans Park is pet friendly park that’s connected to another park with a common path. When I walked the dogs I didn’t realize I ended up in the no dogs park. I walked back to the pet friendly side without incident but with a little worry I’d get yelled at. A lady walking her dog was confused too. The girls and I finally made back to the rv where a lady put out a plate of cat food under my rear bumper.
