It was a good time. Except for the one lady who thought my dog was being too rough with her little yappy dog. I thought they used to have a water area for little dogs like they do for the park area. They could use a bench or two in the shaded area.
This is a wonderful dog park. My dog especially loved the water park. Well done.
I just wanted to add a photo that I thought was funny. This was inside the dog park and is probably a first aid kit. Whomever put the flag up probably thought it was the American Red Cross but in actuality it is the flag of the Country of Switzerland 😂😂😂🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Really clean park
LOVE THE WATER AREA FOR PETS BUT….
They should make a water park area for big dogs that are a little less social so they can get in the water too 😞
Still clean establishment and pretty scenery !
The dog park itself is great. Ours dogs have been there several times and they’ve loved it. Yesterday, my daughter took Luna there to play. Luna was having a great time until another dog attacked her. The dog grabbed Luna on the back of her neck and started dragging her. She ended up with two puncture wounds on the back of her neck. It would have been worse but her harness saved her from more serious bites. The owners of the other dog took off while my, daughter, in hysterics, tried to attend to Luna. I’d like to thank all the other owners there that looked at Luna’s wounds and comforted my daughter until my wife and I could get there. I know accidents can happen. But to leave after your dog attacks another without staying to see if everything’s alright is unacceptable. We took Luna to an emergency vet who treated her wounds and gave her antibiotics.
My puppy absolutely loves it. There is a separate dry park (small/large) and then an awesome fenced in beach down on the shore that is also roped off so they cannot swim too far. A hose was added near the bathrooms to wash off after play time. Other owners seem attentive to their dogs and no one seemed to bring aggressive ones in.
There are people who bring toys and stuff in – so if your dog doesn’t 100% agree with drop it/leave it, you might irritate a few people. (Whoops – he’s a puppy)
