Variety of Terrain!
We took our 6 month Pit mix, Yeti, to this park after a friend recommended it for it's nice views and wide trails.
The trails varied in width from time to time but mostly stayed very wide, allowing for plenty of passing room. We took some time to work on focus training when other people or dogs would walk by us. There was a ton of terrain to walk on such as gravel, dirt, wood, and cement. The stairs along these trails can be very narrow and steep, however, making them tricky for some dogs to get up. We also found that the trails could be a little confusing to follow, even with a map to look at. There are no clear signs once you pass the entrance to a trail and some branch into one another. There are also many unofficial offshoot paths that visitors have worn down which can add to the confusion.
Overall the park was very beautiful and we did have a great time! Just wish there were more signs to indicate which trail you're on while actually walking them.
