Nice facility with main entrance that allows you to choose between a park for small dogs and a park for larger dogs. Poo bags are provided and some minimalist dog training course objects you can use to train your dog. Lots of picnic tables for seating spread throughout the park. There are some small pot holes your dog could trip over chasing after balls and other dogs. Not many trees so it’s got in the summer but there is one oversized permanent canopy. Not having trees means no squirrels or birds so in a way it’s good so my dog won’t obsess the whole time. Water fountains run typically April through October. Then you need to bring your own water. It’s located next to the sanitary plant so when the wind is just right you will smell that. Price is fair. Approximately $70 per year and for $10 extra dollars you can gain access to the Urbana Bark Park. Free WiFi also available. And a porta potty.
