There weren't many people there while we were but it was cold. Nice, large area for large and small dogs.

Split dog park, small park for dogs under 30 lb and large for everything over. For the most part everyone is very respectful, friendly and talkative. Awesome place if you have kids as they have the volleyball court, tennis court, multiple playgrounds, picnic areas, soccer fields etc

The area was fenced in but the ground was pretty much bare, with no grass. I appreciated the toys they had, but they were pretty worn. We made the most of it & it sufficed our needs.
