On the first visit to the Hazel Parker dog park, I discovered it was still being worked on. Today (being the first day of vacation), I decided to head back over there and see what progress had been made.
The dog park is open now, and doesn’t really look much different than when I was there last, aside from having operational dog-lock gates. They aren’t latched though, but that may just be a temporary thing. Several benches strategically located underneath the trees provide a spot for people to sit and relax, and over in the corner is a water fountain.
Although the park is fairly long, it would still be pretty easy to throw a ball too far and out of the dog park, especially with the aid of a Chuck-it. The park would be very well suited for smaller dogs and dogs that aren’t that much into running around. People with more active dogs would probably find more satisfaction (as would their dogs) heading to one of the larger dog parks like the one at Hampton Park or James Island County Park.
Lowcountry dog park tour: Hazel Parker dog park
Located on the peninsula just a block or so down from Tradd and East Bay in Hazel Parker Playground (70 East Bay St), the dog park is a smallish rectangular fenced in gravel area with several benches strategically located underneath the trees provide a spot for people to sit and relax, and over in the corner is a water fountain.

From the Baker’s Dog
Some goodies for the dogs arrived today from The Baker’s Dog
Cookies! Half pound packages of the lamb & rice and peanut butter & honey. Those are the custom labels on the cookie packages that The Baker’s Dog can do. It’s pretty cool. Upload whatever picture you want and they’ll put it on the package label for you
One sure way to get a Lab’s attention is with food. See how they’re totally focused on me? Pff, yeah, right, gimme the cookie already.
Freakishly warm
Definitely could be worse. I could be back home.
That would be 75°F and -13°F for my non-metric friends.
Review: ingenuiTEA
I’m not a huge tea drinker. I used to be years ago. Now that I have one of these ingenuiTEA cups (courtesy of my brother), getting back into the tea habit will be made that much easier.
Using it is super easy.
- Add tea leaves
- Add hot water
- Steep
- Put ingenuiTEA over cup
- Profit!Drink!
ingenuiTEA holds 16 oz of water, so you can make 2 or 3 small cups of tea to share with others, or one big cup to enjoy all by yourself.
Pro: If you like loose teas (which I prefer), it makes brewing single cups really easy. The strainer part is fine enough that you don’t end up with tea leaves in your cup (unless you like that sort of thing). It’s also fun watching the tea drain out. Also comes with a little dish to catch drips. Microwave and dishwasher safe too!
Con: Because ingenuiTEA sits on top of the cup, you can’t really see how full your cup is getting (unless it’s clear) so you’ll kind of have to guess from how much has drained out. You’ll have to be quick because ingenuiTEA drains pretty quickly. Of course if your cup is bigger than the amount of water you’ve put in, this isn’t a problem.
