I work with a schnauzer rescue based in Holly Springs - we'd love to have a more local dog park (closest one now is Raleigh) where we could encourage more dog social events and bring more dog owners out to meet each other!
I recently moved from Cary to Apex. The dog park in Cary has been a complete success. It has been the largest money making park in the Town of Cary. During the first 10 months, it had more members than the dog park in Charlotte, a city much larger than little Cary. It has been so successful, 2 other dog parks are in the works for Cary.
