Your Best Personal Trainer At Epperson Probably Has Four Legs.
You heard this old adage many times--"if your dog is fat, you're not getting enough exercise." There's a great deal of truth to that. Dog owners are four times more likely than to meet today's recommended physical activity guidelines of at least 10,000 steps a day. In fact, dog owners walk 22 minutes more each day than people without dogs, and they also walk more briskly keeping up with their fur babies. That's good news, because according to the American Heart Association, moderate-intensity walking is just as effective as running in lowering the risk of blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, and other conditions. Even better news--the master planned community of Epperson has lots of places to exercise your dog.
Epperson makes it easy for you and Fido to get your activity levels up.
Probably their most favorite destination in the entire community is the five-acre dog park near the Epperson Lagoon. It's a popular spot where they're likely to make friends and you're likely to meet your neighbors. In fact, at a recent Paws In The Park event, more than 50 dogs competed in a costume contest, and many more showed up for dog-friendly snacks, oat milk pupsickles, peanut butter pupcakes, and whole wheat treats. Their owners enjoyed coffee and snacks and each other's company while their dogs cavorted, got out their zoomies, and relaxed in the shade of the dog park. When complete, Epperson will offer no less than three dog parks in the community.
