I've been trying to connect with Connie for about a month now. Timing just never seemed to work out. The other day, I finally got to take my doggo, Chester. Connie was so sweet and put out little milkbones in a bag for him, labeled with my name. The gliding rocker under the umbrella on the patio is perfect. Connie had been out of town but put in a lot of effort with short notice to accommodate us. We will definitely be going back!

I spend a lot of time at Off Leash because of its laid back atmosphere and awesome staff. It's a great way to social your dog while you social yourself. Even if you don't have a dog, you're still welcome to hang out which has always been a plus. I've met so many friendly people and dogs over the past couple of years here. If you've not been here, what are you waiting for!?

What a gem! A beautiful setting to feel nature and view the surrounding mountains while you walk or hang out. There is a rock area and stream that runs through the park. It's beautiful. As well as sculptures, as you walk around. The walking is paved and flat. I can't say enough good things about Founders!

Beautiful rolling Hills, a nice open playground for a younger kids, lots of walking trails, a basketball court, and big open fields for kids to play! The bathrooms were clean for a park. It was nice and quiet away from major roads. The sidewalks are great for skates, skateboards, and scooters alike! Definitely a park that can offer a little bit of freedom to explore.
