Reviews
Basically a fairly small patch of lawn with a fence, dog waste bags, and some hose spigots. No trail, no rolling hills, no foliage. If you need a fenced-in place to run, this is the bare minimum. It’s not run down or anything, just basic.
It’s a really nice dog 🐕 park they have two different sections to be able to separate dogs there are benches to sit on while you let them ( 🐕🐕🐕) run and play there’s a dog drinking fountain outside the dog park so the 🐶 can get a drink.
Update: the water spigot has been fixed! (It was broken for months.) There is not much shade in this dog park, except in the evening for an hour when the oak trees provide it from the apartment complex next door. They do offer cleanup bags for your dogs and there is enough room to run. Sometimes they have kiddie pools for the dogs. The dogs enjoy romping around and it’s always great when a group of dogs show up!
Small gated area divided in two for dogs to run around it.
The rest of the park has a small kids’ play area and some baseball fields.
Overall nice, & clean.
Came in handy when other parks were closed. Just wish the dog area was bigger.
The park was great. Plenty of space for the pups. Next to playground and covered picnic area. Perfect place to bring the ENTIRE family.
No water bowls but there is a fountain.
