Nice paved trail around a lake with a covered pier and a fountain. Some small shaded sitting areas with benches. The park has a well maintained garden for butterfly season.

Went here with a friend and was able to have a great time. Was cloudy and windy for our stop but the park is well maintained and there is plenty of room for all. The back landing to the water allows for the dogs to cool down during the hotter months and having a small and large dog area separated was helpful for most owners based on the experience. Cheers

Great place to bring the dogs, always clean and grass is really well kept. There are three parks and they are consistently rotated to keep conditions of the park in such good condition. Safety doors are always working and everyone is very considerate of each other’s dogs. Great run area for the dogs and there is plenty of parking. This park doesn’t provide the best shade for hot summer days but the park hours are great for early mornings or late nights to let the little guys get in some smells. We love it here
