Pet-friendly trails surround the park for dog-friendly hiking adventures. Lakes Area Dog Park is run on donations and managed by volunteers, making it a welcoming, community-oriented destination for local families and visitors alike.
Nicest dog park I’ve ever experienced. Huge grassy area so you never feel cramped and dogs can separate if they want to. The areas that tend to get muddy like around the hydrant use pavers, and the entry is fully mulched so your pup stays clean. Dogs were all well mannered too.
Beautiful and clean! I love that there are covered gazebos, benches, toys, and even obstacle course ramp and a few tunnels … Area for big dogs and a separate one for small dogs
Very clean, a few fir trees, solar lights on the fence for evening runs. They also have trash bins, poop bags, toys, water during 3 seasons, bowls as well. A Gazebo in the small dog area for the humans. Trails around the area to hike too. Envelopes and QR code posted for donations, since it’s run on volunteer & donation. Normal dog park rules with no breed restrictions.
Visiting the area from out of town and swung by in hopes of allowing the pup to burn some energy. This place is a treasure!! Wow. Large separate areas for big and small dogs. Nicely maintained with mature trees, solid fencing, and water spouts. Thank you for providing this wonderful dog park!!
The BEST dog park ever! It’s so spacious and as clean as can be! Very well managed.
