This thread will be a home to the many regularly scheduled greyhound get-togethers that people have throughout the year. (Non-greys are accepted, too!) If you have a regular meeting time for your greys or a group of greys at a formal dog park, please post it here. You never know how many greys might show up!

United States
Minnesota
City: Minneapolis
Park: Lake Harriet, meet on the lake path near the Rose Gardens
Park Location: From 35W, take 46th St. exit, go west on 46th to East Lake Harriet Parkway, then turn right (north). Park at or near 43rd St. The Rose Gardens will be on your right, the lake is on your left. / Google! map
Days: Every Sunday at 2pm, weather permitting.
Other Notes: No appointment necessary, just show up! This walk is just under 3 miles, but is NOT an aerobic exercise. The pace is pretty slow, good for chatting with other grey-owners. There is a nice spot to let your hound wade/lounge in the water on hot days.
