White Rock Dog Park

White Rock Dog Park




The dog park is an unusual place to meet people, but it is one of the best.  People that own animals are more open to conversation and camaraderie.  I spoke with Caitlyn, who just moved to Dallas from Ohio and loves it.  She is an oncologist who works with children and has many difficult days at work. She loved the area and was excited to explore the city.

 

When I spoke to Phil, he was excited about the nightlife.  He was interested in concerts and poker and just getting out and meeting people.

 

Kristina said that her reason for going to the dog park was to get away.  That was the only reason she went.  That is relatable.  Many of the people I spoke with were just getting off work and needed their dogs to decompress and wanted to decompress themselves.  

 

People have strong bonds with their pet friends.  It is something that the city has tried to capitalize on.  The new dog park, Mutt’s Canine Cantina is a dog park with a bar.  Pet friendly is an upcoming trend that caters to people over many industries. 

 

When I spoke to people at the dog park, they spent a lot of time working with their animals on behavior and manners and took pride in tricks.  It seems that these people need a break from corporate America to bond with creatures that are more simple and easier to please.

 

White Rock Dog Park is located east on Northwest Highway and Highway 75.  It is next to the Arboretum and the L Streets, a nice subdivision that is in high demand.  People from all walks of life congregate here to release their dogs energy and release their own.

 

I choose to go as much as possible because my dogs act better the more socialization they get.  I spend at least an hour here every time I go and I feel better when they get their time with their friends.  I always thought people who catered to their dogs were weird, but now I get it.  It is almost necessary to have this type of release living in a high population area.  Dogs are a nice escape from corporate America and other stresses of being in a top ten media market.
