Wag! Walkers know Rising Sun
Rising Sun is a community based around a very large commercial
and retail center. Housing here ranges from newer apartments to single-family
row houses. Living here means you can find just about anything you could want
from furniture to dog food and from fitness centers to great places to eat. While
this an older area of the city, the residential areas are well kept and offer
sidewalks for you and your pup to wander along on your daily outings. This is a very busy area so while you are out and about, keep a
close eye on traffic. Being close to Adams Ave. makes
commuting fast and less stressful but does bring a lot of noise to the area.
As
for the weather here, you can expect weeks of freezing weather, snow, ice, and
sleet during the winter months. On the opposite side, summers here are quite
wonderful with temperatures that rarely climb out of the low 90s.
What is the terrain like in Rising Sun?
The terrain in Rising Sun varies from residential streets to
retail parking lots and main streets. Thankfully, no matter whether you live in
the row housing or apartments, there are plenty of sidewalks for the two of you
to take your daily outings on. You should always wear light-colored or reflective
clothing on your walks and keep your pup on a leash for safety. You should,
of course, carry bags just in case they decide to leave a little reminder
on the sidewalk or grassy berm.
If you live in the apartments to the south, there are pathways running between all of the buildings, creating a network of paths for the two of you to explore. The more effort you
put into making each walk a little different, the more fun they will be. Just remember
to give your pup's paws time to get used to walking on pavement before going out for distance on your hikes.
How many greenways are there in Rising Sun?
Despite being a large retail area and residential region, there is
a lot of green space in the Rising Sun neighborhood. Unfortunately, most of it
is to the southwest. The Tacony Creek flows along the western and southern
side of the community. With the creek comes a wide swath of nature in the form
of grassy fields, playgrounds, athletic fields and courts, and miles of trails along the creek and through the woods. If you are really ambitious, you can take the trails all
the way to the north end of Tacony Creek Park where you can watch the local softball
and baseball games.
Beyond this, there are several cemeteries in
the area, but you should probably check to make sure it is okay for you and your pup to walk through them. If you do, be sure to clean up any messes they might leave behind.
