Massive enclosed dog run with a training area minutes from the beach. Giant Evergreens fill the enclosure with shade. It’s a wonderful spot to take your pooch. All sizes are welcome. It’s one of the nicest dog parks in all of space and time.
The Doctor
Really, really liked this dog park. Decent sized for your pups and very friendly people to talk with. The scenery around the dog park is beautiful and the bathrooms (porta potties) are nice and close, very clean with separate handwashing stations and well maintained. Parking is super convenient and they supply potty bags and pooper scoopers
This park is always amazing at all hours. Most others that come here are responsible dog owners that watch their dogs. The park is well lit at night time and most of the park is sandy so mud is rarely if ever a concern. The logs, trees and random obstacles give this park a unique fun character. Best of all, there are many tennis balls scattered about that get swapped often for new ones. So there is always tennis balls for your pup available. Lastly there is usually tons of parking that is free and the park provides shared poop scoopers so no worries if you forget the poop bags, you can use one of the 2-3 scoopers.
Very large fenced in area with logs and a small obstacle type course, trees and water fountains amongst 3 or 4 various entrances to the area which is great for coming into the park from 3 or 4 different sides. Makes it very accessible. The remaining part of the park offers a 4”-6” clean pool type feature the casting club uses for practicing fish casting . However that same body of water is also used to throw a ball in so your furbaby can get cooled off! Please respect the cleanliness of that water area. So many trees , shade , common fence area to the golf course to watch that if interested, just a wonderful large open space that you can walk your dog and just chill. I love both these areas in the park. Also dog training classes meet here as well so the place is “dog heaven”on certain days. Just a really great place to enjoy time with your fur baby.
Ok, this is the biggest and best dog park I have ever been to. Absolutely. Maintenance is impeccable. You couldn’t find a dog turd if you looked all day! This issue is important because parasite transmission happens when your dog or even you step near or in it then take it home with you. Don’t take chances in a poorly maintained park!
Rest assured, this park is maintained with the health of your pet as a priority.
Relax and enjoy!
I almost forgot to tell you about a casting pond right next to the dog park areas.
Doggies that like the water
will love running through it. Don’t drink too much though – as this park is irrigated with reclaimed water, to include the pond.
