i recently bought a house with a big backyard for my 2 rescue mutts - danger dawg and destro dawg, but now, we don't get out to the dog park anymore (also bc they closed the park). we do get out to forest park's art hill and world's fair pavilion when its not too crowded. luckily, my neighbors let me bring their dogs over for playdates which is great fun! several people have told me to sign up on rover, so here we are. i am great with dogs and they seem to like me for some reason. we have a big hilly fenced-in yard with lots of sticks and room to run and play. i am turning my backyard into a woodland dog park with fallen trees, hills, trails, bridges, and water features. i work freelance so my schedule is very flexible and i'm able to check on them during the day/night.
