    Puppy Fun!

    This was an amazing place to bring my 5 month old goldendoodle puppy. She loved it and ran her heart out! Quite a bit of people but not over crowded and great place to meet others who love their pups!

    Great time for dogs

    The park is relatively clean. Owners need to be aware if their dog is doing"their business". I had an owner watch as his dog went and just stood there, so I ended up picking up his dogs mess. Otherwise, I have met some wonderful dogs and people. Two huge fenced in areas and one small area. There's a water hose and several buckets throughout the area. My dogs love coming here. Haven't tried the trails yet, but have walked the park. Beautiful area. Highly recommend.

    Huge park area

    This is a great park - I'm disappointed that someone chose to leave a negative review for this park based on something that had nothing to do with the park. Dog fights can happen anywhere there are dogs, and you always need to be careful and keep an eye on your animals.
    Anyways, the fenced off-leash area is huge. It's relatively new and there isn't much shade because all the trees are young. There's water and bags provided. Everyone I've met here has been super friendly.
    The rest of park is not technically off-leash, but there's a small lake near the fences dog area that lots of people take their dogs to to cool off. I can't swear that the leash laws aren't enforced here but it seems like there's plenty of people who will let their dogs off leash as long as they're well behaved and everything. We've been walking around the park trails and you can make it a short walk or a long one (we walked about 7 miles yesterday) and it's all beautiful scenery. My dogs love it.

    Be very careful

    Our friend's dog was attacked by another dog. The owner of the other dog grabbed his dog after the attack and took off. My friend's dog needed stitches and antibiotics. Be very careful about letting your dog loose in the dog park
