Yes, it floods regularly in rainy seasons. Yes, it can be muddy and stinky sometimes. Yes, some dogs get into scuffles because it’s a free public park with no staff supervision and various personalities of dogs and owners. But, I’ve been bringing my dogs for almost six years and I’ve learned the best times to go that suit my dogs and me. I’ve met some great people and dogs there who are regulars and always make it a great experience. Otto has its ups and downs, but it remains my—and my dogs’—favorite dog park!

This park is about 4 acres with lots of shade and a water station. Plenty of benches for humans. The Park requires a reasonable annual fee and proof of vaccinations. It’s never crowded, so it’s perfect if you have more than one dog who play together. Not good if you have only one dog looking for socialization with other dogs.
