🐶 Ralph’s Pawspective

I had high hopes for this one – so many trees, so much grass… but the leash stayed on almost the whole time. 😩

The off-leash dog park looked promising, but it was kinda plain – no sniff-worthy surprises, no-shade, and not a single sausage dog to chase.

I gave it a quick once-over, sniffed a few posts, and called it a day.

Bit tricky to find too – even Luna looked confused! 🐾

👤 Human Highlights

Kershaw Gardens is a big park with lots of green space and walking paths.

While it’s great for stretching the legs, the actual dog park is underwhelming – no seating, limited shade, and no real atmosphere.

It’s more of a functional pit stop than a must-visit destination.

Good for a walk if you’re nearby.
