We have only gone in winter, but the dogs and people at this park have been so kind and fun. Highly recommend. Dog parks are important for community building and public health.

This place is a gem. It has large, multiple fenced-in areas for the pups to play. There are clean up stations placed all around. It's well-maintained. The dog owners here are friendly and responsible. I have nothing bad to say about this dog park and recommend it to all of the local dog owners I know who care about their dogs' well-being and safety! While there is a water station, in the winter it's obviously not usable so bring a jug of water and a collapsible bowl during the colder months.
