Kindred Winda year ago
Was unable to go into the park, even without the dog, because the gates are key-fob locked. Pictures are from over the fence. Peastone ground cover, trash, and bags. I couldn't see water fountains... pathway has bollard lights. I believe that dog parks should be available for public use, not restricted, and I'm always disappointed when we can't visit a park because of pay-to-use restrictions.
