Love taking my dog here and she always has a great time with all the other dogs. Everyone else has been great with their dogs and mine too. It's convenient and everyone I've met has been friendly. I've been to other dog parks and recommended visiting this one for sure!

This is a great and interesting business concept. The staff are excellent and truly care. I loved the extra precautions they take in making sure f Dogs have a profile and vaccination records before coming in making sure that everyone knows the rules. We enjoyed in traveling from out of town. We purchased a day pass for our doggies and were able to enjoy dinner and let them socialize.

This park is probably the best dog park ive ever been to. It was VERY LARGE, it was so large that I didn't realize there's a small dogs seperation until I walked all the way to the back of the park. Theres a nice paved trail for walking-we used it to offleash train my moms puppy. Plenty of trees and shade, benches galore, and a great water area to hydrate or spray down your pet. Theres a hose and tubs, plenty of dog bags, and some random toys scattered around. I also liked the fact that the park was really clean, I dont think I saw a single dog turd left out. There's plenty of parking-if you're looking for the small dog section keep going past the entrance to the back, theres a second parking lot and entrance its pretty easy to navigate, dogs and people were really friendly, it looked well kept up with and clean. All in all its a wonderful park and I will definitely be returning.
