What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
My boy loves coming to Tuckers. We started bringing him after his sissy passed so he would have someone to play with. He has finally learned to not sit at my side scared of the play and gets right in the middle. He starts crying when we get off the exit because he knows whrre we are going.
