If you have a dog that just can't get enough playtime, and I believe that is most of them, there's a place here in town that they are going to love.  Heck, you're going to love it too.  It's Butte's Skyline Park just off of Continental Drive and Bayard and it's a place that you and your pooch need to visit.

Completely dog friendly and with three different off-leash play areas so your dog can run around, Skyline Park is an incredible addition to our city's many recreation areas.

It's not just the off-leash areas that make this park special.  There is a beautiful walking trail surrounded by lush foliage that runs through the park, there are picnic tables along with a children's play area and even a children's fishing pond that has become a very popular summer hangout for young anglers.  The walking trail is gorgeous and has a bit of an incline, so you and your pooch will be assured of some exercise, but the gorgeous scenery will take your mind off of your muscles.

If you want to bring the kids and a picnic basket, Skyline Park is a great place to spend an afternoon.

If you bring your dog, don't forget the required leash along with proof of license and vaccinations.  It is advised, however, that aggressive dogs should not make the trip.
