What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Haven’t been to this park in some time but last time had two Great Danes chasing my GSD around antagonizing her. Confronted owner and he said deal with it and that my dog should be able to handle itself. Well she was 1.5 and not a K9/active working dog. Get a clue dood. From others comments, things haven’t changed. Oblivious dog owners who become confrontational and childish when they get called out. Highly agree paid memberships are the way to go, even small fees deter most of this nonsense . In the very least there is accountability.
