Good to know
- Desert-heat safety: pea gravel absorbs and radiates heat — go at dawn or dusk, bring water, and check the surface before turning dogs loose.
- Both large- and small-dog sides are lighted, with their own double-entry gates and scooper dispensers.
- No turf — it’s an all-gravel surface, so shade is limited; plan around the sun.
