I’m assuming this is this? I remember seeing this earlier this year and looks like it’s finally happening?
This was talked about a year ago or so. I’m glad it’s actually happening.

I still can’t over emphasize the potential joy of watching dogs play when you’ve been walking around downtown drinking. Or even not drinking. Dog parks just make me happy.

Am I the only one that thinks it’s a bad idea to put a dog park literally in the middle of a busy intersection
You know it’ll have a fence, right?

Some dogs are escape artists.

I"m sure they’ll have a double gate system that significantly reduces a dog’s ability to just run out. As long as the humans operate them correctly.
Ok, I see your point…

Isn’t 400H construction using the dog park lot currently as a place to store the generators and construction office?
None the less hope this doesn’t interfere with the kickstart of the outdoor dog park there and gets done soon! I may finally adopt me a doggo once it’s open, as I wanna have a good excuse to go there!

I’ll have to let my insurance carrier know that once I put a fence up I’ll have eliminated all risks, thanks Professor

This should probably have a title change. West Dog Park is an indoor dog park in the 1st floor of 400 West. This is a separate project. I don’t know him well, but I know KP. I’ll try to get details the next time I see him.
I think the name is something like “Pals”.
Considering that those streets are all very low speed, I think it should be okay. People walk their dogs downtown along Dawson and McDowell, which I’ve done and it’s not the best when a squirrel runs out in front of you. But in all seriousness it could be cool to have a dog themed crosswalk leading to this little pie of land with painted paw prints on the road instead of the typical striping

I remember reading this on Raleigh Magazine not too long ago. It mentions ‘Pals’ but doesn’t give much detail. I think this might be what Dylan is referring to?

An indoor dog park bar, where the aroma of dog $hit and piss compliment the citrus hops from that craft IPA you are drinking.
That place better have some good ventilation.
West Street Dog does indeed seem to have a ventilation system that’s up to the task. I didn’t notice any offensive smells when I was there a couple weeks ago.

We’ve been in several times and while of course you can tell there are dogs around, it’s not offensive and it is a very pleasant experience. Well executed. Oh, and we didn’t take a dog. So, if you just want beer, you’ll probably go elsewhere. But if you like dogs and beer, or have a dog and like beer or just want to go to a dog park, this place is very nice.

I really do like having a beer and hanging out with dogs. It’s kind of what I do at home, but…out.

Was casually scrolling around the internet (and working too) and saw on the CityPlat website they added some pictures of their new dog park/bar concept. Don’t think I’ve seen these posted anywhere yet. Here’s just a few of them from their website. CityPlat says ‘project completion’ is 2022, but don’t remember seeing anything happening here last time I was over there. Either way, looks promising and it’s better than the empty lot currently there.
