Nice layout! Big enough to use a chuck it! Had a great stop to let the puppy run and play. Thank you for the water bowl! Very thoughtful 💖💖
Beautiful dog park! Green grass and all of the amenities you could ask for. The dogs absolutely loved it!
Great stop! Lush green grass, superb landscaping, water & waste bags. No people bathrooms. Thank you Martin family for building such a beautiful park!
Great pitstop for the pups. Very well maintained. Did my part to pitch in keeping it that way, picking up the few piles I saw left behind by others, but the grass is so well maintained you can easily see them, and it’s obvious someone is picking up regularly after the others. Some things just can’t be helped. Lovely courtyard garden with a garbage can and some capstones on the walls that are just a little too high and low to comfortably sit, but there’s two steal bunches inside the fence. Water from the pump comes out cold clear, crisp, and quick. I definitely thought about filling up my own water bottles with it. It looked good. Water bowl was clean. Poop bags were stocked and the designated poop bag receptacle was clean. Not much shade, but it’ll get better in time as the trees mature. Wonderful, quiet little park off the side of the road. Thank you Martin Family for sharing this gift to your community with passersby and weary travelers.
Cute little dog park. The lake is right there, so plenty of space to go for a nice long walk. Then if you want to do some socializing, you can just take the dogs into the park. There’s poop bags and a garbage can so you don’t have to worry about that. It’s well-maintained and clean, and porta potties nearby if you have to use the bathroom.
