Thanks to generous donors the dream became a reality. Tails on the Trail provides a running area for large and small dogs from sunrise to sunset. The park includes water fountains, a hydrant mister and agility equipment for canine friends. The grounds are open to all that obey the rules and regulations as listed below.
