Enjoy a free, structured group walk for dogs at Bear Creek Park. The meeting spot is by the basketball court, which sits between two parking lots, so parking is available in either one.

Reactive dogs are welcome, and the format is designed with them in mind. To communicate needs from a distance, bandanas can be used: green signals friendly and open to greetings with permission, yellow indicates a need for space, and red means do not approach.
