Best Dog Park Cities
LawnStarter listed 2022’s Best Dog Park Cities to mark July as National Lost Pet Prevention Month (in case Rover runs away from the pack — or the park).
They compared 93 of the biggest U.S. cities based on dog park access, quality, and climate. More specifically, they looked at the number of dog parks per 100,000 residents, ratings, and historical weather data so you and your canine companion can enjoy the best time.
