Small park but clean. I took my two girls here today and they had a blast. Park is part of the Love's gas station property. There are two separate identical parks next to each other. No other dogs arrived while I was there for about an hour. Loved having it all to myself!!!

This is a nice BIG dog park! Real grass, a few trees, sheltered seating areas, and bags for pickup. Can’t ask for much more.

The dog park is enclosed and large. There are some benches and a shelter for the humans. There is a water fountain that also has a dog fountain on the bottom. The area is clean and open. There is also poo bags to pick up after your pets. It is a great place to take the pup to socialize with other dogs and find playmates. My dogs left the park with happy faces.
