Reviews
It’s a small park but has its benefits. (1.) Great park to start socializing your pup or if your pup is skittish. (2.) It’s truf grass. (3.) SUPER CLEAN! (4.) Perfect for small & medium sized pups playdates. Also, majority of fur parents are responsible and friendly.
My pup absolutely loves it here! When i ask her if she wants to go to the park, she gets super excited. And she even knows when I am driving down the street to get there. The pet parents are pretty responsible, minding their dogs and picking up after them too.
Too small for my taste , I have a Great Dane. I believe my backyard is bigger than this dog park. But cute nonetheless
Very clean park however it has very strong pee smell, the park is divided for big and small dogs based on their weight but both are too small, it has water for the dogs and persons, also they are some seats but on sunny days there is no shadow spot. There are not too many parking spots. A plus is that there is a mall just crossing the street and there is a Pet Co.
It’s sad that pet parents don’t pick up after their dogs and keep this place cleaner. I always have to pick up a lot of poop while I’m here before playing with my dog because one of us will definitely step in something. The parks always smell strongly of pee because the “grass” is actually astroturf. And if you’re not hanging out on the “grass”, you’re in this dusty dirt that they have throughout the park.
During the summer, this place sucks because there’s not a lot of shade for the dogs or humans and because there is no real grass, the astroturf heats up and can ultimately hurt/ burn your dog.
There are lots of poop bags (for some reason they don’t get used 😒??) And there is a water fountain for people and dogs although… I’d bring your own water or at least a water bowl for your dog. The fountain is usually looking a little nasty.
Lastly, there are 2 dog parks BUT both are incredibly small. The parking lot is bigger than the park itself. Obviously one is for large dogs and the other is for small. If you have a dog that likes to run, I’d say take them to a different park. No room to really run or fetch unless you have a teacup dog.
