Do you have a favorite dog park you visit with your pet?

Technobark, an online magazine that reviews high-tech products for dogs, surveyed 3,000 adults to identify the top 120 hidden gem dog parks in the United States.

“Each park to make our ranking is a paw-printed pathway to delight and discovery,” says Gary Nealon of Technobark.com. “The best treasures are often found off the beaten path, so we hope our study helps dog owners to sniff out new adventures and create unforgettable memories with their furry friends.”
