I was very disappointed when I went to the dog park. It has 2 sections, one for big dogs, one for small dogs. Unfortunately Someone didn't cleanup their dog poop going across the bridge. The walking bridge to get there. I had to be careful. My dog didn't get in the poop. And it was just alder, no grass. It was that black dirt, it just a place to sit that was leaning and about to fall. It had one little tree there that someone put a chair under. So they can get some shade. It does have a little drinking fountain that if you bring your bowl and such and it got little bowls there as well. But you can fill it up for get your dark water. So they won't Be dehydrated. I'm too thirsty. I gave it a 2 because of some of the things I said it did have. But I was disappointed. The location is great. It's just messy and icky. At this park, I didn't like it.

Nice park. We were just passing through, our dog needed a run, so we looked up a dog park, and ended up here. It was nice. Playground, large pens for dogs, shade, water, etc.

Overall nice dog park! The dog areas aren't anything crazy, but there are some nice dogs & owners that come here and the lake is amazing! WATCH OUT for the gators!!!

It appears that a lot of people like to let their big dogs use the small dog area. They can't abide by the regulations of the Park, that's unacceptable and a danger to small breed dogs. Totally ridiculous entitled behavior.
