What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Location is great, lots of shade & places for people to sit. There are restrooms, but I didn’t check if they were open. There is more than enough room to run & play. The signs mention agility equipment, but there is none. The water fountain for dogs worked. The only downside was a female dog in heat & someone neglected to pick up their dog’s feces.
