Anytime Puppy Playground has been a lifesaver!! Being 24/7, it has been nice to bring my pups somewhere after a long day where they can go run around and even meet new dog friends. They are TIRED at the end of our visits and it’s amazing. Whether we stay for 20 mins or 2 hours. I have also appreciated the membership where I can give my dogs a bath. Great place!

A little bit of a walk from parking lot to get to the park. Very nice playground and is excellent for toddlers. It’s also plenty far from roads which is an extra bonus in my opinion. Also has tennis courts, sand volleyball court, horseshoe, 1 basketball hoop, covered picnic spots, plenty of benches, public bathroom, nice small trail, fishing pier, canoe space rental, and small canoe/kayak landing. A bit of everything. Saw lots of eagles and hawks while there. Several people out walking their dogs. Beautiful place. 5 stars!
