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!

This park is huge! It's great for all ages and abilities. There really is something for everyone here. 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.

An awesome community amenity! Everything is kept in great shape and the growing trail system allows for longer walks, jogs, or bike rides. Recommended for every age! I am surprised the houses in the subdivisions next to park are still as affordable as they are...
