    "Plenty of sidewalks, not that much public grass for the dog to use. I would recommend sticking to the parks or near the parks, then explore the surrounding neighborhoods and side streets alike. German village is very fun and exciting area to live in, plenty of restaurants and parks to spend your time walking your dog through. "
