The dogs and I headed off downtown in search of the Hazel Parker Dog Run, the third in my list of city-run dog parks (the other two being Hampton and Ackerman).

Located on the peninsula just a block or so down from Tradd and East Bay in Hazel Parker Playground (70 East Bay St), we wandered around the playground area, but didn’t see anything resembling a dog park or dog run.

There was a smallish rectangular fenced in gravel area that I suspect is the dog run, but it’s currently closed off. I’m guessing the city is renovating the area.

This looks like it will be a dog-lock style entrance for the dog run.

So no dog park action today. Hazel Parker dog run will have to go back on the list to be visited again in a few months time when the city is finished their work.

The next stop on the tour takes me and the dogs up to North Charleston to the Mixson neighbourhood (near the Park Circle area), an area still under development but with a dog park already.

The dog park though, is a tiny little fenced in area that would probably fit in most back yards, so I don’t know that I’d really call it a dog park. However, as the fine print on the sign says, it’s only a temporary dog park. Hopefully as development of the area continues it will be replaced with a much larger more permanent dog park (one where you don’t have to worry about tossing a ball outside the fence.

This one I’ll have to come back to in a year or so to see if anything has changed.
