Bit of a walk to the actual dog park, but it’s a nice walk. The park itself if great; water on site, shade spots, and benches. Also near a boat launch and a great spot to ride a bike.
Awesome time, 7 small dogs Merlin had a great time.
This is a nice fenced in area for dogs to run and socialize. People seem very respectful of the pack and watch their dogs. There is always a tennis ball or two to throw and bowls to pour water in for the dogs to drink.
There is also a separate fenced in section for smaller dogs.
2 huge completely fenced in dog pens, 1 for small dogs 1 for big dogs. Running water works well. Double gated entrances so dogs cant escape. Community toys are around, community water bowl too. Benches to sit on. At times however there are dogs that are not well socialized there, they bite and slam into other dogs, however this really is a noncaring, irresponsible, dog owner issue. In these cases we are very pro active about the treatment that our dog receives from other dogs. We have had to intervene on several occasions. There are signs posted that make things very clear. Our dog loves to run and play with the other dogs. Make sure your dogs are fully vaccinated before bringing them. It can be great when all dog owners are responsible and follow the rules.
I actually don’t have a dog but I walk by here all the time!… There are water fountains also.
