It's a beautiful, beautiful Park. They took everybody and everyone into account children, adults, joggers, dogs. You definitely have to check this park out and I hardly ever see anybody there except just me. I want it to post some pictures and a video that I took, but I don't see any place where I can do that?

I enjoyed bringing our fir baby to this park, it's large enough for them to run freely, allowing other dogs and people to get acquainted. There's a watering station, poop bags hung on the fence. There parking area was odd, I thought we were parking at a business, however it was the entrance to the park and a dog walking trail.

The space is ok. It was completely empty on a wonderful Saturday afternoon...which I can assume is because no one knows about it. There is a water pump. Areas for small (under 25lbs) and larger dogs. Bags are available. It is not ADA complaint. There is no picnic area, but there is a covered area to watch the dogs. Glad that Corvias provides this service...sad that MWR doesn't. Most parks on Fort Liberty do not allow dogs or ADA Complaint.
