McDonald Beach Dog Park

My dog Tyson and I were there last Sunday September 27^th 2015 and ran into a foster pup named Doug also apparently going by Cadbury, they had a good play and I am actually interested in possibly adopting him… I’m hoping this reaches the foster mom or the organization as I never got the opportunity to ask what organization he was through.

Took Hope (
) here for the first time today and we had a wonderful time. it was a bit too hot for us (28C) so we took it easy and made sure we spent a lot of time plunging into the cold river.
To start, of all the dog parks i’ve been to since i’ve moved here, the people by far are the nicest. they spend a lot of time with their dogs and there are a lot of families here, which is really nice to see.
Located just north (i believe) of the airport, there is a large parking lot and a short walk to the beach. there is a path going to the end (which we didn’t get to) and while there is a lot of big rock separately the river from the beach, there are substantial cleared areas so the dogs have easy access to the water in several places. As it was so hot there were a lot of dogs in the water — however there was a fairly strong current so i wouldn’t advise encouraging your dog to fetch unless they are good swimmers.
I met a lovely lady when i first arrived who gave me a layout of the land. she said if i walked there during low tide there was a great area towards the end of the park (you could tell it was the end because there was a pirate sign) where we could walk out quite a ways.
will look forward to spending more time there when the weather is a bit cooler!
