Sea Fogartya year ago

A lovely local park! Don't sleep on it! Separated large and small park sections along with a doggie water fountain and complimentary poo bags for both. My only complaint is the lack of community standards. PLEASE, pick up after your pet and yourselves! I spent this afternoon cleaning it up so others can enjoy this area. Thank you to the generous folks who left toys for the dogs. I added one too!

Great little park! Such a little gem in our community! The nature trail is approx 2/3 mile and is an easy trek for low key walkers. The storybook trail and play equipment is great for young adventurers! The dog park area is spacious and has the basic amenities, but I do wish it had a more landscaped area and equipment for the dogs to play around with.
