My puppies love it there. Though there’s an excessive amount of sand
One of the biggest and well-maintained dog parks that I’ve been to ♥️ While a big area of the field is dirt (which I think is just inevitable) there is still a good amount of grass in the second half of the space.
Two fenced in areas- one smaller and one bigger. Tons of space for the dogs to run 🐶 lots of free old tennis balls 🎾 watering bowls 💦 and some benches and chairs for people.
Seems to have an active and friendly community (I am just a visitor every few months) and I’m grateful for this open and welcoming environment for my dogs to stretch their legs.
Plus some nice nature trails around the park if you want to go for a leashed walk after too. 🌲 🐕 🚶🏻♀️
This is a nice park. Large space, although mostly dirt (dusty right now, likely muddy in wet weather.) Friendly people and dogs.
Water was turned off for the season, but would be available during non-freezing temps. Trash and bags are available. Separate sections for large and small dogs.
Great dog park. If you go in the rain make sure you bring a towel, it can get quite muddy here since it is mostly a sand park. The back section of the park does have grass that gets mowed periodically but I recommend double checking your pup for ticks after leaving in warmer months
I love taking Rue there because is always visited by thoughtful neighbors with educated dogs. I also love the fact there is a small area for little dogs but big enough to have a no social dog separated from the rest.
