Why the dog park is taking so long to be open, park employees saying it’s because the grass growing, the park looks good do way it’s, we (dogs and humans)don’t need a golf course,we just a space to have some fun
Do us a favor open the park for hours best friends!!
Tank you
Wonderful dogs and their owners. Newly remodeled with play structures and more shade. My dog’s happiest place on earth.
The renovation is senseless dogs don’t know where they are and do not care how the park is designed. It was perfect the way it was. Waste of taxpayers’ money could have lowered property taxes. Idiot politicians wasting money on useless projects.
The renovation is complete. However it will be closed from 24Feb2025 to 03Mar2025. I like the ramp making it accessible for people on wheelchair or strollers. I like the water fountain station to limit wasting water.
The dog park is opened but it’s not ready. there’s a layer of straw. It’s still winter so there’s no grass yet. it is very muddy at the moment. I will wait until mid spring to come back.
I also like the fence between the small and large section is visible. I don’t think the renovation fixed the drainage issue and grass issue which would make this dog park a elite 5 stars dog park.
Best dog park around! Especially great for small dogs with the cutest little pool
