In town for a dog show. Great place to take my show dogs for some play time. It was clean and quiet.
Nice people visit this park with their dogs. Very enjoyable.
In watching dogs attacking other dogs at this dog park, I have come to understand that a dog park is a vector of disease and injury.
Because of the dog attacks at this dog park, I no longer recommend public dog parks.
Some people now rent out their fenced in yards or land to those who need this service. I think this is a much better option.
Opal had a great time. She’s a lab, and there were two pits and a bull mastiff. The mastiff was a male and did get a little tardy, but nothing that made us uncomfortable. The owners were very quick to discipline the dog, and everyone went back to playing.
The park is small and mostly dirt. There is running water, so you can wash your dog as I saw folks doing on the outside or just get water.
There was little league toddler tennis just up the park walkway. The parking is limited.
The park isn’t anything fancy, but it is clean, has water, is fully fenced, and has dog bags.
