Gypsy Hill Dog Park — Attraction in Staunton

I take my dog there 2-3 times a week and she enjoys it as do I. However it badly needs lighting and more seating. A water source actually inside the enclosure and the grass reseeded in the front section. Some trees planted would be a great addition as well are just a few ideas. Lighting in the fall and winter months is especially a problem as many pet parents don't get off work to make it in the daylight and u end up standing with your dog in the dark there as I and many others have and it's not safe!

Poo bags & trash, some agility props...what's there not to like about it? Once I visited early on a Saturday afternoon and counted 28 dogs running loose and playing with each other and as many people including some toddlers. Lots of free...
