We were excited to try the newly fenced area. Nice size. Dog crap EVERYWHERE, inside/outside fence and parking area 🤨. Deep holes throughout large dog area. Was notified by another patron with 4 gray/white doodles the whole purpose of the fenced area was to leave all the gates open, which led to a rather unpleasant exchange. Unfortunately won’t plan on going back.
