PAWS FOR PLAY TIME

It's important for dogs to have plenty of time outdoors to play and get enough exercise. While the downtown district has plans to create more outdoor spaces for people and their furry friends, there is already a great green space available at the Santa Fe Plaza.

If you want to play a long game of fetch, head over to the MLK Festival Grounds in Downtown Temple. There is a vast fenced, grassy area for your dogs to run around and play. Remember to clean up after your pet and take everything back home with you when you leave.

Your dog will surely enjoy the great playtime in these green spaces.

Mobi Dog is a local pet grooming salon, boutique, and bakery. Stop by this local business to give your dog a spa day or tasty treat. #DiscoverTemple
