    The Central All Breeds Dog Training School is above this area it is fully fenced and now has an all weather “astro turf” type surface which can be used by the public anytime that the club is not taking classes…. See the attached website for how to get to it!

    Thanks for that Steven. It’s generous of CABDTS to allow the public to use their grounds.
