This is a very peaceful place to go and unwind. Lots of cool ducks and weird birds to check out in the pond. I had a nice time just sitting on rocks and painting by the water. It was relaxing. I saw lots of families, people with dogs, and a guy with a fishing pole even.

One of the top dog parks around. Wish there was a way to tone-down the dog urine smell, then it would 5 star! It is clean and a most ppl do keep the place clean with picking up after their dogs. Overall you will not be disappointed if you are a caring doggy parent.

This dog park is always maintained and is the perfect size for the little ones. Today we walked around the whole community fishing pond and enjoyed the Christmas decorations. It's a wonderful way to spend time with your family and pets. Children were running around and totally enjoying themselves. Such a joyful time of year.
