Urban Dog Parks

Urban dog parks are crucial in creating a sense of community in today's culture.  It is estimated by the ASPCA that there are around 80 million dogs that are household pets in the United States.  Having a place to take this dog will not only force people to spend some time getting physical activity outdoors, but also encourages these people to socialize with other dog owners.  However, this socialization is less likely to happen if owners are just walking their dogs through their own neighborhoods, or letting his or her dog just play around in the backyard.  Urban dog parks allow dog owners a place to go where their dogs can play with other dogs, and where they can socialize with other dog owners.  Urban dog parks also pave the way for a sustainable future because these parks require trees and other plants.  Many of the urban dog parks are being built in empty areas where there weren't many plants being grown.  By building an urban dog parks, these areas become more beautified and allow for a greener future in areas that were otherwise very brown and industrialized.
