Reviews
With the spring time, the park would be given much attention
Area around the dog park was beautiful so much space and many locals had dogs off leash in those areas instead of inside “dog park”. Hard to find not really clearly marked when driving around looking for it. Most of the locals were very friendly. So strange people hang out in the parking lot though.
I love taking my pup here! it’s a nice and secure for pups.
We were looking for a safe place to let our Husky run while we were on a trip, and this was perfect.
Fenced-in area suitable for a dog or two to run off-leash. Very little shade. No water. Minimalist. My dog is, by nature of her breeds (border collie, heeler, shepherd), unfriendly towards most other dogs and reactive, so I use the area when nobody else is around. Some pet-owners want to try and see if our dogs can be friends. Trust me, at 8 years old, my adorable, furry, loyal, golden doggie is set in her ways; she isn’t going to make friends, whether your dog is a Shih-tzu or Rottweiler. If you and your dog are there first, we can wait. If my dog and I are there first, please let us know you are waiting.
