Shelby Park Community Center — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

Complete with doggie fountain & poop bag stations. There's a double-gated corralling entrance for getting pups on & off leash.

Most regulars (people & dogs alike) are pretty well socialized.

My only complaint would be that occasionally adults will bring groups of kids whom they do not supervise; I & others have pointed out to oblivious parents that their youngsters are tackling, attempting to wrestle with - or throwing objects at - strangers' dogs.

Thank you Ramsey and Shelby...
