This park is a hidden treasure. Has wonderful trails to walk/run. It's massive, has at least that I know of, 2 completely different entrances. I found that out by going to the Holiday Light Show. It was very dark & not a soul in sight. Thank goodness I decided to re-route and go back to a different starting point because I found the correct entrance, but the light show was incredible! The workers really turned the place into a magical adventure. My doggies and so many others loved it! The park is very dog friendly too!! I'm so glad we found this park.

Excellent place to take your dog to run freely without worry. They have 3 different grass fields for different size dogs. I only ever seen 2 of the dog area's open at one time. The dogs all get along and they keep the grass mowed all the time. The dogs love it and so do the owners. Running and playing together and having a great time! Suggested to bring a few plastic bags to clean the poop up if need be. And they also have water fountains for adult people and down close to the ground for your beloved dogs 🐕 😅

Really fun and unique place to take your dogs. Owner is very helpful and friendly. My dogs had a great time, the swimming pond is so fun. The place in general is beautiful and has great views. I’m glad they offer private rental times as my one dog is unfortunately not a fan of other dogs. I will deff be back. If you’re there buy some of the bug spray they sell for humans and dogs! It’s the best and it smells amazing.

Very cute, asphalt paved trail with scenic views. Not a big area, but well maintained and peaceful. 😊
