Pics Of The Dog Park

I posted earlier about Vincent going to the park every day.
I mentioned that the area is divided in 3 fenced-in sections. One north, one south & one in the middle for dogs 35# or less. I mentioned they were all pretty big areas so I thought I'd take a couple pics today.
Here are pics of the north section.
This is from the west fence looking back. You can see the covered patio in the distance. That cover is 25'x25', to give a sense of scale.

This is from the patio to the NNE. Off the concrete pad, there's about 30 feet of fine chip gravel before the grass starts. We walked all the way around the perimeter twice. He did some other running around, too. He's pretty tuckered out right now. (Below)

We live in an exurban area and sadly, the dog park looks nothing like that. There is great doggie companionship though.

Outer edge of a collar county of the Chicago area.
The county has 6 forest preserves with dog parks, but I'm told this is the biggest preserve with the biggest dog park.
It's 6 minutes from our house.
