We love bringing our dog here. Most of the other dogs and their owners are great. Even those who seem to be having a challenging day are not too bad.

Not too busy in the early morning. Usually picks up in the afternoon. There is a port-o-potty on site. An area for small dogs and an area for all dogs. All the dogs we have met have been friendly and their owners have kept an eye on them. Trash cans are available to toss poop bags. Multiple water sources available.

Family Park in two words. South Dakota = Freedom. This is a park that brings freedom to roam for dogs. That is an understatement. Family Park has a lake for fishing, two large enclosed dog parks and an awesome off leash hiking nature area.

There are several areas for dogs. You have the walking paths, the fenceless, leashless paths to walk, a fenced area for small dogs only, and a fenced area for all sized dogs. I was very impressed with the fun set up and the water you can get to give to dogs and clean paws. It was really nice and we plan to go back for sure!

Good fishing! We caught four trout, a blue gill, and 2 bullhead. We only kept the trout, the others weren’t big enough. We have used the upper dog park as well.
