Blue Springs Park

While blue springs is a beautiful place to visit I have been so turned off from it for a few reasons..... 1)when my husband tried to prepay for some family members for my daughter's small birthday get together on a Thursday(I could have understood if it was busy on a weekend, but it was 3pm on a Thursday )
2) I witnessed an employee throwing rocks at a dog to scare it away when the dog was obviously terrified, makes me furious not only because it is cruel and unnecessary but also what message does that send to the children that could see it.(yes I understand "no pets" but there are much better ways to handle a frightened stray dog that was bothering no one !!! Total lack of class in my books !!!
3) lastly the nazi time keepers! The park closes at 7, and they begin announcing ever 30 bloody minutes and at 10 minutes to 7 there was a car without a human next to it so the same girl that threw rocks at the dog ran out there with a pad and pen to get the car towed! I get it "rules" but being nazi about it makes me not want to go back especially when there are so many better places!

This place is really great. It has numerous of things you can affiliate in and relax yourself on a hot summer day with your family. I go every year and I absolutely love it! Canoeing is the best!
