What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Pretty neat place! I just happened upon it after driving along the valley parkway. I walked around all the trails and was enjoying myself at first but then halfway thru the loud highway and traffic noises started to be annoying so I left. Cool history on the historical marker about the quarry from early 1900s. The sandstone capital of the world! Great treehouse with swings and gazebos. Lots of picnic tables and places to sit. I used the bathroom in the library in the main parking lot. I didn't see one in the park itself. It looks like a labor of love for Berea. Worth the visit.
Read more about Coe Lake ParkStopped here on a cross-country road trip to work remotely and it was perfect. The pavilion even had outlets! Our dog loved walking around the pond. Just a fantastic park.
Read more about Carolyn Ludwig Mugrage ParkSuch a pleasant place to take a leisurelywalk. There is a restroom at the beginning of the trail. Not one with running water but it's always clean! I haven't witnessed a lot of wildlife at Lake Isaac, so for me, it's a nice place to walk the dog.
Read more about Big Creek ReservationMy pittie pup has been going to camp for over a year. He is typically reactive to strangers but immediately loved the camp counselors. They are patient, loving, and lean into my pup’s strengths. He loves going to camp and eagerly jumps out of the car each day! He loves the themed activities and they provide the cutest photos.
