Driving through, we needed a good park to run our (little) dogs -- this isn't it, but it was nice enough for them to run around. I for sure thought we would find a big park before sunset where locals might also have their dogs. No one here 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great cozy place for taking your fur buddies on a quick outing. Fenced in area for small dog and one for larger. Some agility training can be worked on as well. Nearby restaurants at Box Yard also dog friendly.

It's a very nice dog park! It's big enough, it's clean, it has obstacles, benches, and it's well shaded. It's right next to the Boxyard so there're a few good options to eat. I'm sad It's a little empty. Hope more people start bringing their dogs here.

And the reason for low stars . . Is that there is No grass or wood chips as seen in the pictures. Straight up dirt Or mud depends on the days previous weather so beware. But other than that we met some Awesome four leggers & some Beautiful Parents.

I went to a dog days of summer event and I actually left after about 20 minutes. It was a hot day (I know they can't control that) but the tents and vendors were all located on the black asphalt. They had a few pools set up for the dogs, which was nice, but I didn't see anywhere else for the dogs to cool off unless you walk across the parking lot to the trees. It was a dog event that wasn't mindful of the heat, sun or hot asphalt, which was weird to me. There also weren't a ton of vendors out and the only places to eat were actual established buildings, no food trucks or anything to grab and go
