Meyer Dog Park — Attraction in Spring

I went there last night with my well behaved dog. As I approached the fence to go in a couple approached me and my GF. The man said to me “there is a women over there with a baseball bat and a Rottweiler screaming to keep our dogs away from here”

I told him “I’m not afraid to say something to her”

So as me and my GF were walking the dog park trail we can see the women in the distance at the back end of the dog park.

As we approach the general area my dog started to approach her to say hello to her and her Rottweiler. Well apparently she wasn’t alone she must have been with her best friend or sister. While the sister held the dog back the other person starting swinging the bat low at my dog. She started screaming “get back, is that a boy or girl dog? GET BACK.

So I grabbed my puppy and pulled her back and i asked her “why do you have a baseball bat? Is that for your dog or other dogs?” She didn’t like that and proceeded to start screaming and cursing at me.

She quickly left cause it was around 7:30 at night

I immediately wanted to call the number on the dog fence for the constable but she has already left…….

So the way to describe the the women and her friend (so other people can stay away or call the cops) they were both large black ladies with short hair. They are welcomed at the dog park of course but what’s with the giant baseball bat and swinging it at other...

Our favorite dog park! If you park on the Meyer Park side, you will have to walk to the very far back. If you want to walk less, then park behind the Stuebner Airline Veterinary Hospital. There is a dirt path that will take you right to the dog park. I really enjoy this entrance because I don't have to walk through the park with hundreds of squirrels, driving my dogs nuts! There's also a nice pond next to the dog park with a trail and you can walk around that too with your dogs (on leash of course). The dog park for the small dogs and big dogs are great. Sometimes it is really annoying to see dog owners who don't pick up after their dogs because I have one that likes to eat poop! It would be great if people can pick up after their dogs. Also if your dog is over the size limit for the small park, please do not bring your dog in because your dog will scare smaller dogs (the very reason why we have two different parks). I advise you not to go after a heavy rain as the drainage isn't the best, but a day after, it will be great! Plenty of trees, shade, and...

Overall... Very nice, well maintained & manicured Park. Dog parks are both very adequate. Plastic play pools are available as are nice rincing stations.

We encountered 2 fellow dog owners who were nice; one inconspicuously checked our dogs tags while the other nonchalantly disagreed with our PomChi who rested in my arms while in the larger dog area (our German Shepherd & Bichon refused to remain w/ my husband & without us). Well intended & reasonable indeed.

A very noteworthy courtesy, I personally witnessed, was a county Authority escort of a private vehicle into the far corner of the park where a woman had fallen & requested her family vehicle as she was unable to walk the distance to the parking area. I thought that to be very nice vs. having to ride in the little park...
