What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
There are both large and small dog parks that are protected by not one, but two fences are available. (+2 stars) Beware! Poop bags and trash cans are all outside of the fenced area. I don't like holding my dogs poop all day, and I don't like leaving my dog unattended in a dog park. (-1 star) The large dog park is a decent size, and obviously, my dog went to the furthest corner from the gate to take his morning poop before he hit the fence line to make his new claim under the Peestead Act of 1862. This activity occupied him for some time. (+1 star) Fortunately for me, I took my dog there at 9:30 on a Monday morning while everyone else was being productive at work. Needless to say, the park was empty, and my dog was occupied surveying his new kingdom; when he finally looked up to find me, I was off trekking back to the parking lot to toss his poop in the only trash receptacle in sight. As I looked over the fences back at my dog, who had frozen in a thousand yard stare at me, I could see in his eyes that I abandoned him in a strange wasteland for dead, and surely he was forsaken. As I walked back through the gate, my dog instantly became a world-class explorer once again, fearlessly sniffing the double fence line. (+1 star)
