Spencer’s Run, the Waveny Park Dog run is open. The ‘best’ news of the year is a change, almost undetected by visitors. Large stones have been pressed into the ‘new’ grass areas, providing traction and drainage.

Spencer’s Run had been seasonally locked down. When it opened this Spring visitors were relieved but wary… would it remain open on rainy days?

Thankfully, this post comes after visiting the Waveny dog park five rainy days in a row. These post are always accompanied by pictures but the joy of an open dog park is newsworthy.

Everyone I have talked to at Spencer’s Run exercises their pet regardless of rain, sleet, hail or snow. Leave it open. Our dogs don’t care if it’s 20º and hailing… or a lovely 50º Springtime rain shower. We dog owners are used to getting slobered on, jumped on, brushed against… Walking a dog in white pants is like throwing rocks when you live at 856 Ponus Ridge.

Thanks for pressing stone into the grass, if it lets us use the park, press it in.
