Great Outlet, but, Distracted Owners

I moved to this area recently, and one of the reasons I was attracted to this particular neighborhood was the dog park within walking distance. I love the effort of the fellow dog owners to ensure that gallon jugs are filled with water throughout the park for dogs to drink, and that most people who come and go make certain the gates are locked.

It is large, and as one reviewer mentioned, a dog that prefers to sniff and run around on its own has enough room to do so without interacting with more social dogs. There's also separate and very large section for smaller dogs, too!

I find that the park is maintained fairly well.

The only issue I have with the dog park, which is a common issue with many other dog parks, is that there are groups of owners who gather at certain times, and are usually socializing throughout the entire stay with one another. In doing so, I have observed that they are not very attentive of their dogs and fail to clean up behind their dogs, which leaves subsequent visitors to clean up their dog's poop. If you don't, you have to carefully monitor your dogs' steps, as well as your own steps, to avoid the feces. As I said, you will find dog owners like this everywhere. I was just a little disappointed to see that a park this well maintained and routinely visited and appreciated by the community has the same careless owners as any other park.
