I love this park. It's very nice and had a great dog park area. What makes this park stand out to me is the fact that you can host parties there with tents and bounce houses even. I've never done that but I have seen it.

I go almost every day. First the people are wonderful, second so are the dogs. Once or twice dogs come in that was not appropriate for that dog to be there and all the people kind of got together and took care of the issue. It's a issue with my dog who demands to go day after day every single day. He has to be there I love the morning people but can't always get there in the morning and I love the afternoon people. The people that come at different times and hours and the dogs are generally the same with a few changes. It's a wonderful social place and the dogs love it
