This is one of my favorite dog parks to go to. Fresh water is accessible (hose) at all times to refill the jugs or water bowls for your pet. Nearby, there is a sidewalk to use to take a nice long journey by the water with the pets, children on bikes, and strollers.

While the main water fountains don’t work, there is a spigot on the right corner of the entrance to refill bowls/ jugs. Best not to come when it’s over 80’F. There isn’t a lot of shade. The only shaded bench is in the small dog area (35lb or under). Small pen doesn’t get much use so if you come in the morning when no one is likely there you can get a shady spot. Best time to come around 5pm during peak time if your dog is well socialized. Good people. Even better doggos. If you have any grocery bags, bring ‘em and tie them to the fence. Anything helps.
