- JanelMar 22, 2021Nice walk, even when it’s busy
Great walk around even though it was busy as it was one of the first nice days of Spring, there was plenty of room to roam and it didn’t really feel as crowded as it was. Nice atmosphere and family oriented- very dog friendly. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 bones is lack of doggie bag availability and trash cans were also far and few between.
