Our take
1/5Shaw Dog Park centers on off-leash dog exercise, which gives it a very narrow role in a child's birthday plans. A child who loves dogs may find that purpose appealing, but the activity is directed at dogs and their handlers. It offers little basis for choosing this as the main gathering place for a children's celebration.
If a dog outing matters to the birthday child, discuss an appropriate visit with the park contact and keep the main celebration elsewhere. A group invitation should follow a clear understanding of how children would fit into the park's intended use.
