When i'm not selling real estate one of my favortie things to do is to gather up my fur family and head to the dog park at the Civic Center in the Town of Apple Valley.    There are 2 sides to the park. We hang out on the small dog side. There is a large dog side too.  Both sides have a drinking fountain and doodle dags. Thee is some shade and benches to hang out and watch the fun.   From Hwy 18 you will turn north on Dale Evans nd turn right where the old library is as if you where going to the park.  There is lots of parking and bathrooms nearby at the park.  I hope your fur friends and family will enjoy the park as much as we do.   10/06/2015
