One of the better dog parks we've been to. Water and poop stations, covered benches, and a few obstacles. Pretty large area.

Nice fenced in dog park with separate play areas for bigger and smaller dogs. High fence. Every time I've stopped there's been toys for your dog to play with. Water and water bowls are also available.

Perhaps the nicest dog park I’ve ever been to. Big green space that’s very well maintained. Lots of toys, bags, and other amenities. It also has a spigot and bowl for water too. I would come back often if I lived nearby.

Absolutely beautiful park! Friendly staff. Nice, low grade trails to walk. Some trails are handicap accessible even. Nice beach and food court with ice cream, burgers, pizza and other small food. Boat rental place with kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, and small boats to enjoy the water or fish from. Good information center to the wildlife and limestone kilns. Great trails.
