I love this dog park. We come almost every single day. My dog really enjoys playing here. Everyone that goes in the morning and afternoon are really nice, and they stay close with their dogs. I feel that my dog is very safe here. The only downside, is it has dirt/sand that We bring back into my car. This is the best dog park that I have been to by far.

Plenty of parking, nice quite area and yes it's inside a residential area but you can still go take your dog just be respectful. Like that it has shade and plenty of space for my dog to run.
