    Best dog park in the area.

    Lots of space, great dogs, responsible owners. Sun and shade, lots of places for humans to sit. A good handful of local people seem to monitor and help keep it clean and stocked with poop bags, water and tennis balls. My dog really looks forward to coming here.

    Great park!

    The whole park is fenced in. Its a great place to let your dog off the leash to run and play. lots of room to throw a ball or frisbee too.

    Solid dog park

    Large space, often has some dogs present from open to close. One thing I like about it is that there are usually still a few dogs there even later in the evening (for days I work late). The whole park is fenced and there are water spigots (only on during the summer). There’s only one large area, no separate small dog space. Could use a makeover but overall a great space.

    Easy Escape

    Not good if you have a small dog. I have an iggy and I only stayed for a few minutes. It made me too nervous to be there because the fence was not enclosed everywhere. There are big gaps on the bottom where of you have a small dog they can run right through it and the highway is on the other side.
    They also had one spot that was broken where they had a board over it and another where the back gate was where my pup went right over to try to get out and they just had rocks in front of it.
    This park is good if you have big dogs that just want to run around but not good for small dogs.
    It’s in some states of disrepair and needs some TLC

    Horrible Gate

    I took my pup here because I used to go with a pup I lost years ago. Everything was great until I noticed one of the gates is no longer a double gate. My small dog tried to escape with other people leaving and then tried to squeeze under it which he could have done if I wasn’t paying attention. We left and won’t be going back.

    Tons Of Space

    This was a cute off the path dog park with tons of room for my dog to run around! There was also a variety of places for people to sit too.
