My little guy loved this place! Love that there’s a park for the big kids (dogs) and a park for the little kids (dogs) a place for them to roam around and run free for a little while. It’s nice for them to be social and to socialize with others from the city. Nice, clean, well behaved atmosphere. Great way for your buddy to burn off some energy and have fun.
A really amazing dog park! One of the best I’ve seen yet, plenty of room to run, huge large dog side, huge small dog side, restroom on site, a couple obstacles like a tunnel, and full water bowls around, surrounded by lawn and trees, across street from the river. Impressive entrance area with seating and information, seating all around in park too. Dog park is up a small hill from parking, and a bike path goes by on one side, train tracks on other. Really Loved it, so did the dog!
What a lovely place for dogs and their families to play and picnic together! Carpets of beautiful lush green grass in the dog play area. Very well kept and clean. Lots of shade trees to sit and watch pups play. Agility equipment sized for small pups in the small pup area. Memorial benches scattered around to appreciate the lovely park. Trees are large and provide copious amounts of shade. Fresh cold water is available, just bring a bowl for your pup. The human fountain has a pup size fountain integrated into the base. The bowl for the water to drain from the pup fountain needs some attention, as far as drain cleaning, but otherwise provides cold water. Several picnic areas to choose from, many are well shaded. Trail is kept clean and free of dog droppings. Bathroom is clean. Very dog friendly at this park. Will definitely make this a thrice weekly park to visit, as pups loved it and met other well-behaved playful pups to play with. The park has posts with dog dropping bags to pick-up after pets, so please do so, to maintain the beauty of this lovely green space.
Would give 5 stars, but there is no way to get water inside the dog park. Luckily, there is a fountain outside and bowls available to fill up and bring inside.
Great place to take your dogs for exercise regardless of if there are people there or not. Great place to socialize puppies. Occasionally have a pushy / rude dog bother yours but overall a good place. They have a huge area for big dogs and then an area for small dogs to keep from accidental injuries.
