Reviews
Big open areas that are clean and allow for lots of running and exercise. There are two fields, one for smaller dogs (under 20 lbs) and one open field for everyone else. They are enclosed with a fence that’s about 4.5 feet tall so it won’t prevent jumps but is good enough deterrent.
I love this park as my dog can run around and it’s really big for her given she is jus 12 lbs. 🙂 there is also a nice trail for walking rite next to it. The park is very clean but gets muddy when it rains but my dog loves mud so no issue there.
It was fun for the dog. Plenty of space to run. Just wish there was more grass because it is pretty dusty, but the dog doesn’t care. There’s two parks, one for smaller dogs and one for larger ones. There’s plenty of parking for the owners.
This is a pretty large dog park but is never crowded! There are water fountains and newly built shade huts, but there is still no parking. Fortunately I live close enough to walk there.
TL;DR High quality and underutilize dog park. A MUST VISIT! Grass section of the dog park Closed Wednesdays from 1-3pm
WOW! Visited in a Saturday afternoon with just a handful of dogs.
What a park. There are two sections. One a Huge grass field that normally be reserved for a child’s soccer field. The other is also a high quality tightly packed sand field.
Both parks have water stations and poop bags.
The grass one has LOTS of seating: 3 benches with a single metal mesh picnic table that can sit 6-8 people. Also 4 individual seats under a shaded structure.
There is plenty of parking. No bathrooms for humans.
