Reviews
Absolutely beautiful playground and park, by the water. Options for bigger kids and smaller kids, people had their dogs there also… The views are amazing and even a soccer field… Hard to beat this place if you wanna get in a workout or just hang out with your kids!
Beautiful open park. If you were taking your dogs for an off-leash experience, you should know the park is not fenced. We found bighorn to be very well maintained and the folks there were friendly.
Absolutely beautiful. Very rare to have an off-leash dog park with this many facilities. Very special place
This park will be a 5 star. BUT as of today the kids playground is closed off and seemingly under construction. Hopefully someone will post when it’s open again so you don’t make the mistake of stopping off here on your route. Thankfully our 1 and 3 year old took it well! Maybe we will stop by on another trip 🙂
This off leash dog park is phenomenal! Our dogs loved the all grass grounds.They rolled around on it more than they ran across it. The playground for the kids was really nice. Beautiful picnic area with shelter. The restroom was heated,clean, and the toilet flushed. Definitely a beautiful place to spend the day with your fur babies. 10 out of 10!
