Gorgeous dog park discovered on a recent cross country trip. Water was iced over, but tons of sandy beach for pup play. Really nice spot and worth the 4 mile trip off of I-80.
Back on May 15th 2022 , and my original review is actually provable true now!! This place is unbelievably gorgeous !! Now here is my review and my prediction for how the park would look during the summer along with some validating pictures hahaha
Wow!! I can only imagine this place in the middle of the summer with all the trees green and all the Flora and Fauna blooming!! I think they should call this fantasy Dog Island!! Where else can you find beach sand and snow? Yeah Alaska comes to mind. But this place has bathrooms that are open all summer they’re closed from October 2nd through spring. They even have a water nozzle and place for you to wash your dog off if they’re too dirty to get back in the car! The entry area is extremely large and the gates are very big and easy to get through. I think Joe Buck either lived here or donated money because all the park benches have sayings from him on them? But it is out at the end of the peninsula and there is nowhere for your dog to go except all over the peninsula!! I think this dog park maybe in the top 5 Parks I’ve seen so far? And I’m in the great giant City of Grand Island Nebraska? I think the population is somewhere around 50,000 and yet they have a dog park that is one of the nicest all around everything included Parks I’ve seen!! Trees, grass, bushes, shrubs, squirrels, water, bathroom, parking close, easy entry and exit, excetera excetera excetera. I learned from the local park guy that this used to actually be a little dock with boat rentals on it for people to use the beach with. And for some good reason they tore that all down and made it a dog park!! Yay
This is an exceptional and unique big dog park/beach. It has benches, poop bags, trash cans, restrooms (closed in fall/winter), water (off in in witner), parking about 30 ft away. It’s mostly sand and water with some brush and trees. here’s a separate area for small dogs. They essentially turned a peninsula into a dog park. There is water on three sides and a fence on the other. The fence is mostly a 4-ft chain link fence but near the water there is a section of 3 ft wire fence. There are also lots of birds so this may not be the best place if your dog has a tendency to bolt/chase animals. There is a full agility set up but on the small dog area only. Not many dogs and a few owners not picking up waste. Otherwise amazing spot.
This dog park is amazing. There’s a section fenced off without water access but most of the park is sand/grass with some trees and water access. Love it!
It is a very cool on the beach dog park. Lot of space and soft on feet.
