Yesterday Aussie visited the Gahanna Dog Park at Pizzurro Park on the east side of Columbus for the first time.  Located off of Hamilton Road across from the airport, just south of the Route 270 ramp, this is Gahanna's first public dog park.  It is a 2 acre fenced area where dogs may run off-leash.  It contains a separate fenced area for small dogs 25 pounds or less and an agility area for all dogs.  The park also has an unfenced area for off-leash play. Through the large dog area, there is a paved path that makes it accessible for wheelchairs.  Because this is a Gahanna City Park, it is a free park that is open 7 days a week from dawn to dusk.  It is operated and maintained by the Gahanna Parks and Recreation Department.  Beatiful setting among mature trees, but plenty of open space fo... 07/27/2009
