If the parking lot is full, go back to the main entrance street and turn right. There will be additional parking just down the street all within walking distance of the dog park.
It’s always lots of fun to see so many Boston Terriers running all over the place. (The most we’ve had at one time was around 30. C-R-A-Z-Y!!!!!) As one first time participant said, “These is organized chaos.” http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/laughing.gif It’s a good idea to bring your own water bottle and bowl. Toys too. And plastic bags for those accidents. http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/confused.gif We look forward to seeing you! http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/cool.gif
