Not a dog park but dog friendly! Nice, open field with plenty of grass to run around and a decent playground for the little ones, or even your pup I suppose 🤷🏽 Also picnic areas and pathways to walk down.

One of the few playgrounds that actually was pretty shaded in the morning. This is in a neighborhood. There is no parking only street parking. Looked clean overall. Decent size grass area too. Connecting trail from the park through the neighborhood too.
