Reviews
It’s nice to walk your dog and too have a dog park to go too is fantastic, Jaxx loves it there.
They have water dishes and doggie duty bags there to use.
Nice large dog park that is fenced in with both space for little and big dogs alike! No parking lot, but is just a short walk from downtown. Peaceful next to the river.
the river is close by if you want to let you pup take a dip. be careful because i find broken glass around the entrance often. there are also a few burr plants in the brush.
This place is a great size and such a nice spot! Absolutely love bringing the dog here and it’s never usually busy! It’s a plus also that it’s close by downtown so when we are done we walk downtown along the river! Definitely recommend checking it out, really pretty spot and we enjoyed it a lot!
We haven’t been here in years. Zeppy and I volunteered for the Happy Hounds dog walks , years ago in which raised funds to build the dog park.
This old man, partied waaaay to hard but had tons of fun doing so.
