The dog park is a wonderful space. It has a five-foot fence all around the park (there is a large park for big dogs and a separate smaller park for small dogs). The parks were thoughtfully designed, with many stations to explore and plenty of water. There are a lot of seating areas for owners and portapotties onsite. They made the park very safe, including the entrance to the parks with extra gates to ensure the dogs don't escape. The park was very clean. Baggies are provided and there are rubbish barrels onsite as well.

I was kind of disappointed by this park. Seems kind of run down and not well maintained. Right across the street is the entrance to the Concord river greenway park which has a nice long path with a lot of river views. I recommend skipping this place and going straight there instead.
