Dog Parks and People Parks

So starting in the early spring people parks and dog parks really took a huge priority in life here in Seattle. Green Lake was the favorite "people park" destination for both running and walking. This park is situated just north of downtown Seattle with stores, restaurants, a few beaches and even a grandstand on one end, it really makes for a favorite destination. It is no wonder after visiting the area on at least a 3 time a week basis that this is where we moved in July... more on this is future posts. Anyway, Green Lake is a great place to go for a run as the inner loop is 2.8 miles and the outer is 3.2 miles around. I love to run here and Roscoe loves to go for a walk and even a quick swim from time to time.

Roscoe has quickly come to LOVE dog parks and swimming, you would think he was a water dog! Our favorite dog parks are Magnuson and Marymoor. We love Magnuson because it has a great beach for swimming and Marymoor is like dog heaven, it's huge and so much fun to meet new friends there. I think I have posted a few pictures from Marymoor in the past. Both of these are great parks but we have to drive to them. So one day while living downtown I decided that we really needed to branch out and walk to a downtown dog park. Well, I should have been warned, it was more like a drug park, but Roscoe still made it a great time and fell in love with little kiddie pools while there.

This park might be a little sketchy but Roscoe always has a good time!
