Great fenced area to allow your pup to run around and find new friends. Dogs are friendly and owners quick to step in if their pup is getting over excited and playing a bit too aggressively which is a nice change from some other locations. Nice little agility course at the top of the hill for dogs to try out and a covered sitting area for the owners. Huge space so even when the parking lot is crowded there is plenty of space int he enclosed area. Also very easy to get to as it is off main roads and the highway.
This is such a great dog park! It is massive and has plenty of places for your dogs to explore. It’s a nice loop trail that climbs a pretty steep incline. Definitely a good workout for you and your dog. Plenty of places to drop off poop bags throughout the loop. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to hang out with Your pup I definitely recommend this place.
I was here for the trail, but want to come back with the dog later! The parking lot was great and can hold several cars if needed, it was not super busy when I was there on a Sunday late morning in September.
The trail was a little washed out, but otherwise a great short easy trail. I enjoy trail running, and I don’t think it would be fun for that in it’s current state, but it was okay for a walk. Just in case you are curious, my watch says one lap starting on the north side and returning on the south side is about 150 feet in elevation gain. The view at the top was pretty cool, at least until they build houses in the distance. Wide open prairies, it was stunning!
It’s been 2yrs since I’ve brought my pups and the open space has been updated. There is now North and South parking lots and entrances with added porta potties.
They have 2 electric charging stations. The top portion is paved so you can walk your dogs and bring a stroller.
The trail is a 1.6 mile loop. Beautiful views and the terrain is fun for the dogs to run around and play. Our dogs had a great time.
Disappointed I couldn’t find any trash cans on the loop only dumpsters in the parking lot. People were leaving poop bags around the Open Space.
Please bring your own water. No water available, only bowls.
Beautiful dog park filled with friendly dogs and mostly responsible pet owners. There is an accessible sidewalk as well as rock paths throughout. Two small huts and a stand of gamble oaks provide seating and shade. It’s a huge park with plenty of spaces for pups to play fetch, explore, and socialize with new friends. The native plantings are beginning to mature and fill in bare areas. The only cons are no water and the interstate noise.
