Better Trained
A well-socialized dog is less likely to develop behavior problems. In fact, dogs and puppies that get plenty of exercise by playing are less likely to bark excessively, destroy property, jump on passers-by and more. Indeed, a well-exercised dog becomes a happy, healthy, quiet dog and a better neighbor.

Neighborhood Socialization
The dog park will provide opportunities for neighbors to socialize and share valuable, responsible pet ownership information because of the common bond shared by dog owners. We also believe that our dog park will bring people together and create a greater sense of community. The Park is located across from Ocean Pines Tennis Center, the softball field and Manklin Meadows Playground.
