Great park. Well maintained. separated dog areas for large or small dogs. Nicely shaded. Benches for humans to sit and water access for the dogs
Amazing! People need to realize that this is a park and you will get dirty, especially with dogs running around. Split sides like most dog parks for big dogs and small dogs. Wish there was some type of water fountain/faucet for the dogs, especially since there isn’t much shade
There is also a book hut to take/leave books. Something different than people always staring at their phones.
Great dog park with friendly dogs and people! We’ve gone through here on long trips as it’s a quick stop off the highway.
We visited just yesterday on March 20th because we were in the area and I had my dog with me.
My dog was the only dog in the “large dog” side, and there were 2 smaller dogs in the “small dog” side that met her at the fence to bark at her LOL! My dog, a 50 lb. Standard Poodle, simply wagged her tail and observed them for a quick minute before moving on todogay some fetch.
The area for the dogs to run was a decent size. The entire ground was dirt, no grass to be seen, which is why I gave 4 stars. It would be such a beautiful dog park with grass. It certainly has the potential!
There were a few areas to sit. It was really a very basic dog park and it served its purpose for my girl today. There are poop bags provided. There are some boxes labeled “toys” that had a few tennis balls in them. There was a large silver water bowl, but I didn’t see a water source. I’ve seen fountains at other parks so I may have over looked it, or maybe it is installed or set up when it hits a certain temperature, I’m not sure.
The pink-ish “ball” under the garbage can lid, do not kick that ball. That is NOT a bouncy rubber ball. That is a ridiculously HARD PLASTIC BALL and I hurt my toe. I thought I broke it. I whimpered like a giant baby for atleast four hours after that! LOL I actually had to have my son get the damn thing to see if it was a bowling ball. I walked in and kicked it for my dog, fully expecting it to bounce across the park like we do at home. That didn’t happen 😆 it took off a bit, but clearly wasn’t meant to be used for kicking. Avoid the pink ball!!
There was a decent-sized parking lot but it needs a little work (also my reason for 4 stars – I have a lowered car!)
All-in-all I would return if I’m in the area…not on a rainy day, of course!
Decent sized park, with a mixture of grass, dirt and woodlands ground cover (when not covered in snow and ice). Bags and trash inside the park.
Park was SUPER icy when we visited.
There would be water during non-freezing months. Separate area for small dogs and a fair number of benches and tables scattered around.
