Very nice and clean dog park . Our girl was able to run out her energy and just be a dog in the middle of our little road trip. Loved it.

Visited here for a friend's birthday and enjoyed the nature and sight seeing! Saw lots of cute dogs and even somewater. Also a beautiful sunset. Only downside was the litter and smell from the still water. I plan to come back and do some beach cleanup.
