    Dangerous

    Multiple safety hazards: a 2 foot gap in the fence that owner said is "too hard" to fix (behind brush), a gap under an entry gate that allowed my dog to pass through and walk onto N Territorial ( again "Too hard" for owner to figure out how to fix), tall concrete pad near entrance with a pile of wood stacked on the other side that would allow a dog to simply climb up and over into the unfenced parking lot. Recently there also was a small deep pit dug near the manmade pond that was filled with standing water and was a drowning hazard for small breeds. Robert will go out of his way to say something nasty to you or about your dogs. Do not expect a professional experience here, or for the smelly trash cans to be regularly emptied or the paths to be walkable. If you are a golden retriever or labrador owner, or a man, you likely will have a much more positive experience than a woman attending this park. Plus side: the dogs enjoyed it, which is why we were members for 4 years. Eventually the stress and danger of a dog escape nearly every visit became too much and Robert refused once again to fix the fence. If it works for you, enjoy. The dogs have many wonderful memories here. It would be a gem if other people owned it.

    if you live in the area, worth it.

    It's great for off leash and to socialize your pets. 15 acres but maybe like 2 acres worth of trails. Pond is cool although the plastic bottom makes it hard for my dogs sometimes. If I lived in the area I would come all the time because it's great to let my dogs off leash and meet others and roughly $1 a day for membership. it's just a treat for my dogs to go, but nothing great for me.

    Paw Run Rocks

    Paw Run is a very fun place for a dog. Yes, the poop bins get filled quickly and sometimes could use a dump in a more timely fashion, but all of the positives outweigh that by far. The owners live on the property and love dogs. I have never encountered a truly aggressive dog and all the owners I see work with their dogs to make sure the experience is fun for all. Dogs will be dogs, so if you are super fussy and don't like to get dirty then stay away. If you like nature, mud and lots of friends for your dog, then this is the park for you.

    Paw run is a mess

    Paw Run is a filthy mess with terrible management. Dog poop bins are rarely emptied and the managers are both nuts. Don't waste your money!
    Many aggressive dogs including managers.
