Georgetown’s Amazing Bark Park

In one of my wandering moods Wednesday, trying to get a grip on sinus and allergy-related issues, my drive took me to Georgetown, Texas.  It was a pretty afternoon, with a gentle breeze, perhaps a bit warm, but that was okay.   Initially, the plan was to drive by San Gabriel Park, but then I remembered that Georgetown has a Bark Park, on Holly Street.   I’ve driven past it a few times, but never stopped for a visit    The overused word “wow” comes to mind.   This Bark Park is amazing!   Nestled under a canopy of healthy pecan trees are six acres of fun, for big dogs, small ones, and everything in between.  There’s even a fenced-in area inside the larger part where small dogs and their owners can safely play.  One doggie mom, with her three active pooches, found time for a jog around the perimeter a few times.  Her well-behaved babies occupied themselves with trying to get a squirrel.   This park, open year-round from dawn to dusk (weather permitting), is one of the gems in this Central Texas city north of Austin.   These photos were taken for my pals at the Williamson County Sun.
