What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
We visited the Christmas lights display while in town with family and had an wonderful time walking around and admiring the eclectic menagerie of illuminated fauna! Even though the place was busy, it's big enough that it didn't feel crowded. You can skip the long line of cars and park in the municipal center lot. $2 a head gets you a ride on little train, which my kiddo LOVED!
