This is amazing! I didn't know this was here until another friend introduced us to the park. I've…read morebeen looking for a place to take my hyper pup to run and play without having to be tied down or on a leash. The only other options I found were daycares and I didn't want to pay for her to play. The large dog area is so big that there's no way anyone should feel crowded and if a dog wants to take a break, they're not being run over by others playing. I second what others have said. Bring a lawn chair, extra poop bags, and a water bowl. There is a bench or two now but not enough space for everyone. A few people have brought toys and left them, so there's plenty of balls and stuff for the dogs to do if there's not many people/dogs there. The only negative is that not everyone picks up after their dog! Be considerate of others and pick up poop. If you forgot bags and there's none in the dispensers, ask and I'm sure someone will share theirs. Don't be that bad dog parent.

For some reason (maybe she - the front desk receptionist - told me it was because they were being cleaned? I can't exactly remember.). I was not able to check them out. This second time, when picking up Phoebe, a new customer came in and someone - whom I supposed was the owner of BB&B - took her right back without question. It may not be their general operating procedure, as it is with many other boarding kennels; but, I was told that we would be sent a photo of her on her first five-day visit. In fact, they offered. That didn't happen. It's not something that I expect from a kennel; but, more and more kennels are sending daily updates via a photo or two showing pets playing or just having a good time. I think it's a great way to reassure pet owners that their pets are comfortable while owners are gone. On this second visit, I reminded them that they never provided me with a photo for the first visit; and, I was assured that it would happen this time. Again, it didn't happen. I left 12 Wuffes (hip/joint supplements) for six days with instructions that she was to receive two per day. (Even left two extra just in case we didn't get back as scheduled). Out of the twelve, 10 were returned. This means that they were given to Phoebe only one day. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I was trying to really like this place. With both a five-night and a six-night visit, boarding isn't cheap. And, I certainly don't mind paying for it, but, when it comes to my pets when I'm not able to be around them, it is comforting to know that they are in a safe, comfortable place where their health needs are being met by staff, especially when provided with meds and instructions. Just reviewed my online invoice to find that I WAS CHARGED $9.90 FOR PLAYTIME THAT I DID NOT REQUEST. I had earned free pool time. I figured, as did another reviewer of BB&B, that since most kennels allow dogs to be given socialization time, that this place would work that way as well, but, apparently that is NOT the policy here. I do a lot of traveling, but afraid I'll have to find a different kennel boarding option from here on out.

He has not eaten or drank in two days since his appointment, and has been throwing up. He is flinching each time we pet and check his body, which everytime we inspect his body we see MULTIPLE other areas where his skin was cut or fur so short all you see is his irritated skin. Ended up taking him to the vet and he has an infection, was out on antibiotics and steroids.

You're not going to entertain young kids in this park for very long. There's not playground equipment and the small area would make me paranoid about kids running into the road.

By the way, if you don't want to read a book in the park, check out the tiny library that's there. Very cute. As a visitor to the area, I would have liked to see a sign explaining the tomatoes.

Just a mere few weeks after 9/11/01, this city hosted its' annual Fall Festival, the Red River Revel. And during this particular year, the Gypsy Songman himself, Jerry Jeff Walker was to be headlining one of the Saturday nights. My chums and I, all huge, adoring Jerry Jeff fans, went to the show in full vigor. I myself, consuming what was pretty much my own body weight at that time, in draft beer, during each and every song, and after show's end, then venturing to a local tavern across town, where I would ultimately end up unconscious, and seeking the comforts, spread eagle no less, of said tavern's convenient outdoor parking, and the asphalt thereof. And this, only after regurgitating some of my stomach's contents into an empty pint glass, inside said tavern. Then there was July 4th, 2005. It was the night before my Father passed away. I sat in my Father's hospital room, and he, on his death bed. The television hanging on the wall, was tuned in to a local station, which was broadcasting live from this very park, for its' annual Independence Day celebration. And on this night, at this very sad moment, I remember sitting in that chair in that room, my Father resting, and looking up at that television screen, and seeing all the people, all the visitors to the park that day, families, and couples. As the camera panned the large crowd, hundreds, maybe thousands of faces. They all looked so happy. So carefree. Life was so beautiful for them. I was going through one of the worst times of my life. And then, down at the festivities, the recorded voice of Louie Armstrong, and his song, "What A Wonderful World" began playing. I could hear it on tv. My Father remained asleep peacefully. I just began crying. Of course, there are other memories of this park, less heavy, and not as important maybe. I remember another Red River Revel, years later. Where I jumped up on stage with local band Dirtfoot and showed all forward looking eyeballs my latest and greatest dance maneuvers, as interpreted from the music the band was playing. This delighted both my future wife and festival security immensely. There have also been countless enjoyable viewings of outdoor films here courtesy of Movies and Moonbeams. Recently, this park was deluged with waters from the adjacent Red River, and suffered extensive damage. In recent months, as festival seasons have come and gone, this area has not been available or open. It appears now that most, if not all, repairs, as well as planned upgrades, are now complete. Hopefully, this park will once again become the focal point of all activity and highlights during festivals, as well as day to day downtown recreation.
