New Dog Park in Moorpark

To follow suit with Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley, Moorpark opened its own new dog park last week.  The cool place has separate running pens for big dogs and little dogs, new dog bone benches for the owners to sit and drinking bowls and fountains for the thirsty pets.  Its nice to see efforts to provide a place for owners and their pets to get out of the house and bond a bit and get exercise.  It just makes everyone happier.
