Great customer service. Very clean, spacious fenced in area for the pup to run around and play. The pool is totally worth it on a hot day. Will return for sure.

We went to see the “Sailing Through The Winter Solstice”. It will be there from Nov.22, 2025-March 14, 2026. It is a free event but they want you to vote on the flotillas by using the QRCodes. There is a Parking garage nearby. You can have strollers, wheelchairs, and dogs! You will have stores, restaurants, and art centers nearby. Frederick, Md. has a lot to offer you. You should see the boats before the dark and after! There are benches along the pathway. It is a unique winter light display!

Nice park with large and small dog areas. Friendly people and dogs, plus well maintained grass and water areas. A bit of a drive for some but worth it.
