Things to do in Bannon Creek Dog Park

  1. Spend quality time together: Most importantly, come out here simply because it helps strengthen relationships between pets and their human companions whilst providing ample space where fun activities can be enjoyed by all – making it a perfect way to spend quality family time together!
  2. Let them socialize off-leash: One of the greatest advantages offered by dog parks is that they allow our fur buddies to socialize off-leash which is essential for proper mental stimulation and development – especially those who don’t get much interaction outside the home due to size or breed restrictions in public places. At Bannon Creek Dog Park, owners have full control when it comes to their pup’s safety as well as allowing them access off-leash areas should they choose so that they can interact freely with other canine friends without any problem. 
  3. Exercise with your pup: Don’t forget about exercising when at the dog park! We all know how important it is for our pups (and ourselves) to stay fit so why not make use of this great opportunity? Alongside walking/jogging, there are also areas dedicated specifically for physical activities such as jumping jacks, burpees and more! 
  4. Meet up with other pet parents: If you’re looking to meet other pet parents like yourself, then head over to Bannon Creek Dog Park! It’s a great place to connect with fellow animal lovers who might be able to provide useful advice or just become good friends over time! 
  5. Enjoy an afternoon picnic: Pack up some treats and snacks for yourself and your pooch and spend an afternoon enjoying the beauty of nature in this peaceful dog park. Find a spot near the creek or away from it, depending on what type of atmosphere you’re looking for!
