Macon Dog Park

Just down the road from mercer lies a a little park for the community and man's best friend. Here is a place that allows people to get outdoors and allow their dog to run, drink, do "their business," and meet new friends. These kind of places are very good for the community because it allows an impoverished or gang related area to become more watched by the neighborhood, and move its way into being more livable. Going through this park is an urban river that will make its way into the Ocumulgee river. An urban river can be a problem because there can be runoff from sewage that can pollute the environment around it. It was cool that they had a pecan tree in the park that i got to eat form, quite good in fact. After testing different parts of the urban river, first where the water as running from right under the bridge and farther down, we noticed there was a good amount of fecal bacteria. its probably from all the dogs...
