This park is great! The only thing I would suggest for the night time, is to have more lights in every parking area and some walking areas.

Awesome place, very nice and knowledgeable staff. The store looked very clean and organized by animal type. Massive selection of accessories for cats dogs and all types of pets. Prices are very good as well compared to other petshops that ive been too. They also have a section for pets medicinal and shots needs. Will definitely go back for all my pet needs and tell my friends about this place.

Very large park with walking path. This park is huge. It has a very long walking path throughout the park. There is also a large lake with ducks, geese, etc. I like this park but I don't like the drive to the park. The park is in a very congested area. Every time I have driven to this park I have been stuck in traffic. Also this park can be very busy with a huge volume of people. I have went to this park in the early morning, in the evening after work and on the weekends and it has always been crowded. When the walking path is too crowded, I have tried to walk on the grass. Some grassy areas of the park is wet mud. Not fun to walk in. Unfortunately the grass is not well maintained at this park. Many areas contain no grass, just dirt or mud. So this is a wonderful park, but not one of my favorites. Although most people give this park very high ratings. Note my pics of the park were taken when I took time off from work mid week so the park was not crowded.
