Dog Park

The New York State Thruway is in the process of overhauling all 27 of the rest areas. Although they are only working on a handful at a time, the renderings have been revealed. Not only will they be more of an open concept, but some will also have dog parks and all will have better food options. Look for Shake Shack, Panera, Starbucks, Panda Express, Chik-fil-A, Popeyes, Dunkin, Burger King, and a new fresh concept Applegreen convenience stores. Taste NY farm markets will be at each rest area along with play areas and picnic areas. There will be amenities for commercial truck drivers including more truck parking, showers, fitness centers, and laundry facilities.

Just in time for the winter months, a new place to bring your pup is getting ready to open in Saratoga Springs.

It's hard being a dog owner and finding a place for your furry friend to stretch their legs and have play dates especially if you live in a major city. Well there is good news if you live in downtown Albany.

Have you ever been to a dog park and just observed the hounds sniffing around and doing as dogs do?
