What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
I just moved to the area and last week put my girl, Nia to sleep. I frantically searched for a vet because it was her time. Reber came recommended by several places. They were so kind to her in her last moments. And so kind to me. I have no doubt animals receive the best care here. Even the counter staff helped me find a good joint supplement for my other cat. Hands down the most impressive vet clinic I have ever seen. Thank you for loving my girl in her last moments. 💗 you now have all of my future business and ill be recommending to everyone.
Read more about Reber RanchBeautiful Park, beautiful scenery. I felt compelled to write here to make parents of small children aware of the restroom situation. We visited on November 2, so all the restrooms are evidently closed for the season with the exception of one. It was filthy, covered in trash, and the toilet was overly clogged, full of human waste and toilet paper, and not flushable. We have a potty trained toddler, and I wouldn't let her near it. We opted to leave the park early in search of a bathroom at the nearby Starbucks, grocery store, or restaurant.
Read more about Lake Meridian ParkTook a walk around on a nice sunny day and it was wonderful. There were several people walking with their dogs and others enjoying the sunshine and walk like myself. And painted rocks appeared during our walk, we had a very nice time, it was peaceful and very calming
Read more about Clark Lake ParkIt’s not just a dog park. There is separate areas for small dogs and big dogs, also thanks for people like Pickleball courts. Areas for big kids or little kids. Each place has equipment according to their age. It is a hidden gem. I had been to the beautiful Soccer fields baseball field skate park but but I had never driven around the other side to this area of the park. It is really close to the Cedar River Trail.
