Reviews
Nice place!
How do they always keep this place clean!? Doggie poop bags available.
Let’s be real — calling this a “dog park” feels a bit generous. It’s more like a fenced patch of earth that accidentally grew some grass. Tiny space, barely enough for a chihuahua to stretch its legs, and even then — not without stepping on a bald spot.
The grass is struggling, patchy, and looks like it’s seen some stuff. If I were a dog, I’d probably throw side-eye and refuse to pee here out of principle.
Appreciate the effort, but this feels more like a checkbox for “amenities” than an actual place dogs would enjoy. One sniff and I’d be out.
Great place to stretch your legs
Very small fenced in area. Has shade, seating “airlock” gate setup, etc. This is a spot for Truckers to take their best friend to do their business and flex their legs a little. It’s not a serious dog park, but it isn’t trying to be. I would prefer if they rebranded this as a “dog area” as I tried to meet up with a someone and brought my dog there, when it isn’t really a place for dog owners to get together and allow their dogs to socialize.
