    Great place

    My dog loves it here! The trail is great, he loves being right by the water.

    Parking fee costly and rules of the park

    The park is nice, but it's $8 to park, and there are signs everywhere that stress the rules of the park. I let my dog run free once we reached South Pond, but beyond that. I wouldn't take the chance. Nice setting, but not really worth the $8.
