What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Beautiful park with lots of nature to spot encompassed by a great paved walking trail. The kids enjoyed the play structures while the mamas enjoyed chatting in the shade at a nearby picnic table.
Read more about Randall ParkThis place is quite nice. It's got 3 separate caged area, 1 main with 2 side areas next to it for anti-socisl dogs or big dogs that don't get along with others or dogs being introduced to society. It even has a couple of training setups if you wanted to utilize it. Seating areas places for comfort as well as a covered pavilion with lights hanging from it. There's a water pump for those who don't have water or forgot to bring some. If only it wasn't so far out of the way, it'd be a lot more popular I think which is why I have given it 4 stars.
