As a Realtor, I am as guilty as others of spending way too much time indoors these past few months. I have found that a great excuse for me to get out and enjoy the spring time weather is to take my dachshund and his canine pal Charlie to visit the Dog Parks that Metro Nashville has to offer. While leash walking is totally OK at all Metro parks, these special locations allow your pooch to freely roam in a specified area so they can mix and mingle with other furry friends. It’s the perfect date on a warm weekend afternoon for you both to socialize and play! The following are the locations for you to check out:

Centennial Dog Park
At 31st Ave. and Park Plaza
Parking off Parthenon Ave.
(separate areas for large & small dogs)

Shelby Park
South 20th @ Shelby Ave.
Behind the community center

Warner Dog Park
Off Vaughn Road
Just South of Old Hickory Blvd.

And, if you happen to live in Williamson County, you can drop by:

Maggie’s Bark Park
138 Claude Yeats Drive, Franklin

Don’t forget that while you are out playing, it’s your job to be a responsible pet owner and follow the suggestions of “Bag it”, a public service campaign that keeps our environment clean and healthy for everyone to enjoy.

   March 15th, 2009 at 01:21 PM Hey Chris and Sue, I did not know you liked the dog parks so much! We have a great deal of experience with the Maggie Park in Franklin! On every non-rainy day, hot or cold, you will find either Steve or me there with our Sable, an 18 mo old Siberian Huskey.She needs the exercise and we need the diversion! It also has 2 parks, one for large and another for smaller dogs. Sable's favorite friends are Lucky, Jackie, and Huckleberry. The people we have meet there are really super! We look forward to the trip as much as Sable does! Just a little tip: Last weekend, we took a trip to see our daughter, Christa, at UT Knoxville and took Sable with us. As part of our trip we planned a visit to the Knoxville Dog Park, called Victor Ashe- it was awesome! Really a huge park with trees and hilly. A must see if you are visiting Knoxville with your pooch!
