A stunningly well maintained park in central CT. They have work out stations, informational history plaques and lots of port-o-potty's along a path that loops around the fields of the park. There's a baseball mound, tennis & pickle ball courts, a playscape and lots of benches too. There's also a gorgeous rose garden at the top of the park with a war monument. Ample parking in many lots, with street parking also. It's pet friendly with dogi-pot stations around the walking path that loops the park too.

The place is not well maintained and covered with snow. Also it is very dirty and there is dog poo everywhere.

This is my first time coming to this dog park it is only one side it is not separate. It is pretty decent size there is a parking lot for pistol Creek you have to cross the street and when you see the wooden sign you take a right and it's down that path I had trouble finding it so this is why I am giving hints on where it is. It is definitely a nice dog park I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you have not already your dogs will love it.
