Gates/fences were cut open so be careful because dogs can get out if you don’t check the perimeter first.. it was well maintained few years ago like everyone seemed to pick up their dogs stuff and now, a mess! The gates are impossible to close, it’s dirty, never has bags, garbages are overflowing. I like the separate fenced in area that’s in each of the two areas. There is a place to get water but comes out so fast you either get soaked or leave a huge mud puddle. My kids and I would come here often now I rather go out of town to Goffle park.
