This little piece of heaven is amazing! My 2 dogs absolutely loved it and so did my husband and I. It’s clean and secure, easy to access and the double fencing for added security is a great addition. We will be making this a regular routine for our dogs. I am so happy we found this place!

Lots of seating available for anyone who needs it. There are plenty of climbing opportunities. I liked the walking trail along the river's edge. The wifi tree was also really cool to see. It was nice for a free activity.

Recommended for every age! I am surprised the houses in the subdivisions next to park are still as affordable as they are...
