City of Lancaster Dog Park
The Forrest E. Hull park in the city of Lancaster (Southern California) is one of Hamlet’s favorite hangouts. The park has a pretty big off leash area for dogs which was recently divided into two sections. The purpose of the split was to provide one space for everybody and another space for small dogs only.
Inside the off leash areas are courtesy scoopers, bags and trash cans to clean up after your pet with, some trees, dirt, a bunch of grass and usually a sizable gathering of doggies. The city also provides a water fountain with separate spouts for humans and dogs as well as a spout for quickly refilling the water buckets.
Hamlet urges you to stop by if you’ve never visited this place with your dog (and if you live near by). Just make sure that you follow the rules. Hamlet suggests that you always remove your dog’s leash when you enter the off leash area. Your dog may get stressed out when you keep him/her attached to you while other off-leash dogs are around. This often leads to aggressive behavior due to stress and because your dog might feel like it has to protect you when the two of you are attached.
Hamlet stops by the park randomly but it is normally towards the end of the week and after 5pm. We don’t go in the morning because it is usually still wet from the sprinklers being on. We’ve also found that the afternoon crowd is easy going. Hamlet likes to play rough and some owners can’t handle that.
