Great little dog park with features and water spigot. I like the mulch and my dogs love it

They have a little construction going on, but it doesnt take away from the beauty of the park. The overlook of the waterfalls is staggering. The sun covered hills, and the carved valley is like a mixing bowl for the the 2 bursting falls. We came early spring, but I know during the fall the variety of colorful foliage and falling leaves would be lovely. It reminded me of a mixture of Petit Jean State Park and Devils Den State Park. Worth the drive, but if you walk to the falls be ready for a Great Wall experience. I think the guy said there were 12000 stairs.

Love this place. Something for everyone. Easy strolls or moderate hills. Paved or trails. Bike or walk. Been visiting weekly for 5 years, and it’s fun to see this place evolve. Sometimes you may see deer, owls and the occasional snake.

We loved our visit to Coolidge Park! On a Sunday, very busy, as expected but Monday we had the park to ourselves. We had an amazing time walking with our dogs.
