This is truly a perfect spot for dogs to get exercise! There is a large pool for dogs that enjoy swimming. There is plenty of yard space to fetch a ball or frisbee. This spot features plenty of shade as well as comfortable seating options. Parking is easily accessible and convenient for dog owners that live downtown. Check out the spot and give your dog a play date they will love!

Awesome park. Just took bad we just barely missed the special event that they had from 9 to 12. All in all, very clean, well maintained, open, and convenient. We look forward to becoming regulars and having our boy Lucky enjoy some friends.

Cool small local park with areas for family gatherings and scenery and water and pretty much everything for a great adventure! Clean with good bathrooms! Looks like a great park to watch the sunset at! Closes right at 6pm be sure to get there early! The path way loops around so there's no getting lost! Very spacious parking lot definitely loved that!
