The dog area is large, one are for large dogs and the other for small. The only issue was that both areas are all sand it would dust up the air had to give my dog a bath he was so dirty.

Clean park even cleaning crew working in the weekend. You don’t see that in other cities. Anyways I was going to take a day for me but it ended up being a day foe my dog Miles. He made some new friends and even some rivals over who drinks more water.. Yeah that’s my dog making friends.

Saturday 9.18.21 just after 12pm the park was surprisingly not busy on such a perfect day. Hey not a complaint at all. Got to relax and let the pupp roam around. Really chill vibes. Albeit this is my first time here so I haven’t experienced a busy day.
