The 1st is Mercer County Bark Park it is located at 334 South Post Road, West Windsor (directions) and has two dog park areas, one each for large and small dogs.  This is a public park so shot records are not required and there is no admission fee.  The park is open 7  days a week, 365 days a year, dawn to dusk.  I have been a few times with my dogs and have had a positive experience.

The other local dog park I am aware of is the Rocky Top Dog Park located at State Hwy 27 (a.k.a. Lincoln Hwy) Princeton, NJ 08540 .   It is a bit of a drive, around 20mins but well worth it.  This park is a private park.  It is only open to the public on weekends from 12-4pm.  If you are going for the 1st time bring your shot records, they will not let you in without them.  The cost is $10 for the 1st dog, $5 for the 2nd.

Every time I have visited the park with my two dogs there have always been plenty of friendly dogs to play with.  They have over 3 acres for the dogs to enjoy.   The park is great in the spring and summer if your dogs enjoy the water.

If you are aware of any other dog parks please share.  Thanks.

For twenty-five years, two guys from Brooklyn – John Flansburgh and John Linnell have been playing with listeners’ heads while selling 4 million
copies of thirteen albums and moving from cult figures to the
mainstream. In the process, they have spawned a whole generation of
“nerd rocker” bands and just plain geeks with songs about thermostats,
metal detectors, and President James Polk. In the late 90s, the dynamic
duo began expanding its horizons into television (13 videos for MTV),
movies, and the internet, contributing songs and the opening themes to Austin Powers: the Spy Who Shagged Me, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the Grammy-winning song “Boss of Me” for Malcolm in the Middle. Last year, Flansburgh and Linell released their latest CD, The Else, and launched their free monthly podcast which has turned into a national underground favorite (available on iTunes and at tmbg.com). The Village Voice put it this way: “They make being defiantly uncool look and sound unbelievably cool!”

From the bombastic and epic to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin as has no other tribute band. Just as the Fab Faux have done for The Beatles, these six Philadelphia -based musicians don’t attempt to mimic the band’s live shows. Instead, they stand and deliver the LZ studio recordings with all the bells and whistles attached, re-creating the songs in all their depth and glory, with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin itself never performed live. Each evening’s two-hour set spans the mythic career of the legendary British supergroup, with a strong focus on the early years, but also touching on deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever, heard in concert.

Location: Municipal Building

Time: 8:00 PM
