๐Ÿพ Move over, kids. The dogs (and their parks) are taking over! ๐Ÿถ


Seattle is estimated to have more dogs than children under 18 ๐Ÿ˜ฒ and it's not the only city where four paws outnumber two little feet!

Cities like Denver and San Francisco are seeing the same phenomenon. ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŒ†

So here's a question for city planners, developers, and parks departments: If dogs are such a big part of our communities, are we designing enough spaces for them?

Dog parks aren't just a luxury anymore. They're community gathering spaces, neighborhood amenities, and an important part of planning for pet-friendly cities.

At Dog Park Advisors, we believe our four-legged residents deserve thoughtfully designed spaces, too.

๐Ÿพ Is your city keeping up with its canine population?
