Reviews
Nice, clean, and always plenty of doggo friends for dogs to play with.
Great place. Great people. Water available for the dogs to drink and pools for them to stay cool.
Was time for my GSD puppy to meet other people and dogs. I was nervous but the moment we got in the fence, all worries went away.
Everyone is just so nice there and Liebe got to meet some absolutely wonderful dogs!
It’s large, and clean. Plenty of room to walk, run and play fetch. Lots of ‘donated’ balls and toys . Kiddie pools, water bowls and a pump water source all were there. There is also a port-a-potty for the humans. I didnt use it so I can’t comment on cleanliness.
A terrific place to spend time with your dog, and other people.
I have added one photo so far, of Liebe and Benny, just sniffing around.
Dog park:
Beautiful large dog park just off of I-71. Lots of room for you and your dogs to shake off the travel fatigue. The walking trails are oval and paved, so it’s easy to walk laps while the puppies play. If you use this park in wet weather, bring a towel to wipe their paws off prior to entering your vehicle. Poop bag stations are available, but the day that stopped in, they were out. Bring bags. There is one low spot in the large dog side of the park that gets wet, so be prepared for that if you visit on a rainy day. The park is well maintained, and the owners that use the park are good about cleaning up after their pups.
Seating:
There are benches to sit on. If you visit in the early am hours, bring a towel to whip off the morning due. There are lots of trees that shade the park until later in the am, so the due hangs around longer than if they had full sun on them.
Parking:
Medium-sized parking area. NO SEMI TRUCKS OR CAMPERS. Not because they don’t want trucks or campers but because there is no room for large trucks or campers.
Caution ⚠️
There is a bike trail that goes in front of the gates for the dog park. Please leash your puppies and look both ways prior to crossing the bike trail.
Bathroom report:
There is a handicap Porta pot available. It was clean the day I was there.
Koda, the dobie was pleased… she loved making new friends Billy and Stella
