What do dogs dream about? Steak dinners? A new chew toy? The longest game of fetch in the history of the world?
As they lay their furry heads down on that new dog bed you bought on sale at Home Goods last weekend, kick their little paws out, and head off to dream land – do you know what I think they’re dreaming of? 1000 acres of dirt and grassy knolls, where dogs run free alongside a gorgeous river complete with a swimming hole to cool off in on those hot August days. But where does this dream land exist? Surely there’s no such canine nirvana nearby!
Not so fast there buddy. This doggy Disneyland is nearer than you think. Follow the Columbia River east from Portland to charming Troutdale. Among the gateway to the Historic Columbia River Highway and cheap gas (seriously, the gas is cheap in Troutdale), you’ll find the ultimate playground your pup has been dreaming of.
Thousand Acres dog park has been making fetch happen for years now. Let your beloved Fido or Fidoette run their hearts out in the wide open spaces of the Sandy River Delta Park. Sandwiched between the Sandy and Columbia rivers, this space is beloved by many pups and their owners. Open from dawn to dusk everyday, make your tail-wagger’s dream come true with an epic adventure to Thousand Acres park.
