Video Reviews of Dog Parks and Dog-Friendly Areas in SF Bay Area
We have been working to create a resource for Bay Area residents and visitors with dogs who want to know if a park is worth visiting. For me, cell phone snapshots of people’s dogs and social media comments are not enough. So bit by bit, I am trying to post edited video coverage that gives people a chance to watch a video walk through that will hopefully provide a better sense of what it will be like when you and your pup go out for some exercise and enrichment. The more people watch, the more videos we will create. We hope this is helpful.
