What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
This park is super cute love it ! As for the dog park I’d stay away. I brought my dog here about three four times. She got so sick the next day. I didn’t piece it together until the last time. Haven’t brought her in months and she’s golden. I’d be be careful bringing a young dog here. It's free but the vets bills aren’t !

Agility equipment in place, separate small dog section. Bags and trash present. ...but no parking. Street parking for meters, taken on weekends. Overall, a good park for residents, but not so much for visitors.
