Point Isabel Dog Park 1

Pt. Isabel Dog Park, in Richmond, Calif. - the largest one in the world, it's said. (Sometimes misspelled as Point Isobel.) Unfortunately, it may be more well known for the Scott Peterson case. All shots are with the Canon A710 IS.

The Adorable Twerps - Tucker and Maggie - are the lead dogs here. April 2007.

SECOND dog-park day is here

Am hoping the photos give a sense of the space and daily doings there.

Glad you liked them, Cynthia. NON-commercial use with full cites is fine. (For non-commercial websites, that includes full name and link-to the galleries here if the website's material is appropriate.) Good luck on the thesis!

Great Photos! Hope you don't mind if I use them in a section of my thesis that I am writing about Dog Parks. I promise to cite them. I am a landscape architect student at the University of New Mexico. These are the best photos i've found for this magnificent park!
