Raise your hand if you love community driven, non-city-sponsored dog-runs!  

I DO!, I DO!

Oh, the Clark Park Dog Bowl.... a giant football field sized pit in the middle of Clark Park that serves as the community's unofficial dog-run.  

Note, that there is a "real" dog-run up the street from Clark Park on about 48th and Chester, but they (i have no idea who)  want you to pay to become a member, which in my opinion (and by opinion I mean self evident truth) is bullshit.  Pay to have your dog run around like a lunatic? no, no, no.... I believe ill exercise that right for free.  

The Clark Park Dog Bowl is a great place to let your dog play around and get some good unleashed exercise, meet all the dogs you've seen walkin' in the neighborhood but never had the courage to pet, and possibly make some new friends.

Before bringing the mutt down to the Bowl, there are some things i'm gonna run by you so you can judge if your pup can handle itself.... firstly, there's no fences. Your dog can run away, and if your a shitty owner, it will run away, so be warned. You have no idea who these other dogs are, and since the place isn't city sponsored, if your dog gets eaten by a bigger one, there's no-one to cry to but the other owner. And lastly, there's a children's playground right above the Bowl, so if your dog's givin' off  ' the dingo ate my baby ' vibe while hes eyein' down that two year old on the swings... I suggest to re-leash him and get him out of there...  

So, if you think your dog can pass the test, bringum' down, there's always a few pups there waiting for more company..
