Dog Walkers in Rossi Amended

Rossi Amended is a mobile home community located in the southeast central region of Yuma, Arizona. Residents of this neighborhood are close to many commercial services they can reach on foot along Kennedy Lane. There are also ball diamonds and sports facilities adjacent to the neighborhood on the west and north sides and a large park just a short distance north.  

Extreme heat and dry conditions can hamper walking ability in Yuma. This city is one of the hottest, driest places in the US and one of the sunniest in the world! Extreme daytime temperatures can make walking unfavorable or even dangerous if precautions are not taken. To avoid overheating and dehydration, avoid walking in extreme temperatures and opt to take your dog out early in the morning or later in the evening. Ensure both you and your dog are well hydrated before, during, and after excursions in the heat! 

Rossi Amended is a mobile home community with a small commercial area on its south side. There are also some commercial businesses and services located on the thoroughfare along the east side of the community. The residential street ends in a cul-de-sac and does not have sidewalks, so watch for traffic and vehicles backing out of properties while walking with your dog in the neighborhood.  

The nearby park areas may be more amenable to outdoor activities and daily strolls with your dog. There are some mature shade trees on residential properties and more green spaces located directly northwest of the neighborhood with ball diamonds and sports fields bordering the community. The terrain is flat and not steep or rough to navigate while walking with your dog. A large industrial area lies to the north of the community. This not a pedestrian-friendly area and should be avoided in favor of other walking destinations.

Kennedy Memorial Park is located just northeast of Rossi Amended and can be reached on foot for area residents and their canine companions. This 17-acre park has many sports facilities and athletic fields. Sports fields and facilities are located here and ramadas have been placed for shade in the park that is lighted to facilitate walking around after sunset. There are restrooms, picnic areas, a skateboard park, and a playground. The park also features a half-mile greenway where you can walk on a paved trail that the park maintains. 

Just a short distance drive to the southeast is the dedicated dog park, the Bark Park, which provides enclosed areas for your dog to play off-leash. The park features double gated entries to prevent escapes, benches for owners to rest their feet and socialize, a water fountain for drinking water, waste facilities to dispose of doggie leavings, and agility obstacles for your dog to test out some skills.
