What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Love the dog park, but it needs more trees for shade, also a little mowing job might make it look cleaner as well. If I were able to do it on my own, I would definitely do it. It is quiet and secluded, I don’t think people know about this place as every time i come, there is only max 3 dogs per day. Across the gate, there is an abandoned baseball field and a rain garden. I found at least 3 baseballs in the field and the garden is cute as pretty birds would go there to rest. Beautiful park that needs some cleanup and trees for shade
Read more about Linden Memorial ParkI have a 4 month old poodle who is very active , she loves to be around other dogs and takes play time very seriously. I was recommended to come to this dog park and was not disappointed. Everyone was super friendly. There were a few dogs who should not have been at the park but after getting into several issues with different dogs those owners left the park. I was very nervous because this was our first time going to a dog park. But did not regret it at all. My baby played so much and was very sad and cried the whole way home.
