Riverdale Park’s Waggertail Dog Park & More Dog Parks Along Route One!
Spent some time at Riverdale Park’s Waggertail Dog Park earlier this week with our four-legged friend and my offspring bipeds.

According to this brochure, the park opened in 2016 and is “dedicated to the memory of the late Judy Glaes, long time Riverdale Park resident, and a true friend to dogs.”

Check it Out: Local Fun! Patuxent Research Refuge

Afterwards, we headed outside to collect more sticks and catch some sunbeams on the Refuge on a wonderfully, sunny day.
