This park has a playground and new bike track for children, a mile track for walking, and is a no leash park provided that your dog will listen to the commands of its owner. It's a great place to go to get outdoors if you get the feeling of being cooped up as it is free to attend and overall a fantastic walk.

Whoever put a buncha hearts around the park for Valentine's Day today, super cute idea! I enjoyed finding them! Also, 4 stars unrelated to the heart search. 4 stars because there is so much goose poop everywhere 🤢

My dogs absolutely love this place, Rapid Creek always lures them in no matter what the temperature is. It's just about a half mile to walk around the circumference and there is a really good dog around every corner. There are a few trash cans to throw away your doggy-doo bags, but not many, and one blue room for the humans. Since that bad wind storm this winter many gorgeous trees were lost. It really opened the place up but you sure miss those big trees for sitting under.

What a great decent sized dog park! Took my greyhounds, and they loved having enough space to really chase each other around. Very well maintained and clean. Large and small dog sides... each side has a nice little pavilion and picnic table for seating and shade, and doggy poo bag/poo deposit stands.
