Our dog adores this park! So much room to run and close to my apartment
Great park with 3 fenced in areas for your dog to run around. Small dog, Large dog and a wooded area for your friendly pooch to run around in. There is also a small play ground and baseball fields as well. Only complaint is in spring/fall time you have to bring your own water because they shut the water off and don’t turn it back on till summer.
It has a huge dog play area and a really nice kids’ play area.
This is a very nice park, tucked down a dirt drive, walking distance to the library and downtown. There are baseball diamonds, an updated playground, two shelters (one has a picnic table, the other had two benches), a bathroom, and a few trash cans. There’s also a lovely little pond that had frogs singing and a few ducks bobbing in it when we visited. There are a lot of raspberries growing along the edge of the forest and we saw many deer tracks in the mud, as well as a group of turkey vultures overhead.
Our rescue dog (London) and I visited on a Monday afternoon in April, while my husband was performing a puppet show at the library nearby. We were the only ones in the park, and it was a very peaceful spot.
Beautiful dog park, but I believe the only reason we got in was it was Sunday. They are obviously repaving and doing other construction. I don’t know if it was open. There was nobody there anywhere!
