April Rhodes-Tillery10 months ago

Amazing, well-kept dog park! Split sections for big & small, HUGE area to run and there's some large drift wood pieces to jump on. Decent amount of benches to sit on. There isn't much shade, but the breeze should keep it from getting too hot in the summer.

Great park to bring the kiddo. There's also an exercise area for adults but it's at the bottom of the park, would be nice if it was up near the playground so you can exercise as you watch your kids.

Lovely place; forgot to take photos of the dog play area - it’s definitely great if your dog can be well controlled. There’s no fence to other area or to the street. A lot of woods and bushes. If the dog went on and chase other dogs, no visibility. Be careful. Otherwise, such a nice place!

I loved this park. Great views. Hiking trails around and about. Lots of dog walkers coming through to walk their pack off leash. Didn't have any trouble with other dogs which was great. Lots of traffic. Harder to find where exactly to park but I figured something out. Overall I look forward to coming again with my pup! She loves being off leash and to be able to sniff and run around
