There are dog parks and then there are the spiffy membership
dog parks. These are cropping across the East Coast and soon may be coming to
open green spaces near you. Forbes Living takes a look at what these elite walk
and play parks have to offer.
In New York City
and a few other places, people are buying unused land and turning it into a
great place for dogs to walk, run, play and socialize. For a fee. These are
membership only parks where dogs are screened to see if they have been
socialized and to see if they are aggressive. Perhaps the pet owners should be
screened also. They are paying the fees –
which can be as low as $25 per year to $425 a year – to have a private space
where they know the other dogs and pet owners. While some of the parks have
steep fees, which cover all of expenses they put into it, like insurance and
waste removal, other parks are not charging the pet owners for them.
Forbes Living TV knows that every dog park, whether it is
run by the city or privately, will have its share of pet owners who let the
dogs run around without any supervision and those who do not pick up after
their pets. These members are asked to leave and their membership is revoked. We
want to know: would you pay for a private dog park or rather use a free city park?
