Almost never. We don't have a proper 'dog park' within walking distance, but there is an informal one in the big park a mile from us (dogs are allowed off leash, but it isn't fully fenced in). I've taken him a few times, but by the time we walk a mile there, my little 10 year old pup is tired and doesn't play that much anyway. He used to love it when we were in NYC and closer to the park, but he just generally doesn't play with other dogs as much as he's gotten older.

I don't. We had a very unpleasant experience and will not return ;). Basically, my dogs don't want to play with other dogs and I need to remember this *lol*.

We used to go once a week, but they get SO DIRTY and I get scared of all the pits fighting once in awhile.
Plus, my older dog likes going to each person to get pet more than he likes playing with other dogs.

Not often at all, glad to hear others are the same! Sometimes I feel bad, but she really doesn''t play with other dogs when we take her, and wants to just hang out with us. It's pathetic really We have a big back yard so she gets plenty of daily activity, and she's well-socialized with other dogs -- she plays well when she sees friend or family dogs and on walks -- so it doesn't seem to be an issue. She's just more of a people dog, I guess

Between May - Sept maybe 2 - 3x a month. Our greyhound rescue org has weekly dog park get togethers during the nicer months and DH will often take her. I used to go too, but I hate making small talk with the people there, haha. So now I make dinner while he takes her :T

My mom takes him pretty often. I always have lo and I don't want to take her in yet.

I can't remember the last time. Our male doesn't play nice with others, and our female is a run-awayer. We play in the backyard with them, or just take them on walks.

We used to take him at least once a week! Now, it's like once a month? He runs 10 miles a day with my dad so I just feel bad he doesn't get to hang out with the other puppies.

Never, I have bad vibes from ones I live near and don't like the idea in general.
However, when my dog was a pup we did " puppy play" at a local raw dog food shop that was great socialization and was safe because they were all still babies. When they get older and mature is when Shiz hits the fan on occasion with mixing dogs in confined spaces.
