Park is A LOT bigger than what you can see from the little parking lot. Great area to let your pups stretch their legs. Several little trails and even some foresty areas for those real adventurous doggos. Water bowls throughout, but I didn’t see any fountains. There was just one other dog in the large breed area when I went (about 3pm on a Thursday)
Been here multiple times, never had an issue until recently. Went in today with two other people with our two dogs perfectly fine. Two golden retrievers named Severus and Bubbles kept playing with our husky until they pinned her down multiple times, mainly the dog Severus. We asked the owner multiple times to pull and recall his dog every time but the dog never listen to his commands and his dog started humping our dog who was trying to fight back but is slightly blind and couldn’t fend herself. Asked the owner to leash his dog as we were tired of it and started an argument that this was a dog park and that the dogs were playing, they clearly weren’t as his dog Severus was trying to dominate our husky as she was yelping and clearly being attacked. Owner proceeds to get into one of the people’s face that I was with and threatening us. Not sure if I would want to go back if these are the people we are going to encounter every single time. PS. His dog bubbles was chasing our dog the entire time and did not recall his dog once it was out of sight. If people still want to go, be careful of these golden retrievers Bubbles and Severus.
We love the dog park! Lots of trails and space to run. We always bring a bucket with fresh water with us as well as our own poop bags, although there are bags availableat the park if we forget. There is a Porta potty outside the fenced in area, but it’s not always clean so we avoid using it. Doesn’t take away from the dog park itself.
Nice dog park with plenty of open space to play fetch, wooded areas for exploration, and trails. There is an optional separated area for small dogs. Beware that the parking lot is a bit small, and located nearby to a busy intersection. Can be a mild nuisance during busy traffic times.
People at this dog park are generally responsible dog owners. After being here about ten times, I have yet to have any issues with the park and it seems to be nicely maintained. Lots of people bring extra bags for those who go and have forgotten them. I have really been enjoying the nice walk around the park. Lots of benches and water bowls throughout to rest and relax.
