The park was absolutely beautiful! It was spacious enough for all my dogs and then some. My dogs enjoyed every minute of being there and are all tuckered out from playing their hearts out. I will definitely be back. The only reason for the 4 star review was for the parking, as far as I could tell it was only street parking because the parking lots were reserved. But other than that totally awesome.

The dog park was quaint, clean with beautiful views. It was also FREE! No membership required. There are two sections, One for big dogs and one for the smaller ones. My dog is a 4lb Yorkie poo and she had a blast in the section for little dogs. She ran around with a 13lb dog and ran around sniffing all the smells and hopping through the grass like a gazell ☺️. There is even a small pool with a nearby hose for those hot days where the want to cool off with a nice dip. There are also stone benches on both sides of the gated park but we brought own lawn chairs just in case. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to let our dog run free untethered in a clean safe space. Definitely going back now that the weather is letting up off the heat bit. A hidden gem for sure 😃

My dog Susie & I had the Best time at this dog park, so much fun ! We stayed for 2 hrs…gorgeous views, wonderful breeze, shaded garden porch area, shaded play pool area for the dogs, drinking fountain & Super nice people ! happy kind dogs, very little arguments or bad behavior at all. I counted at least 20 dogs and still no problems, lots of laughing and they had a blast !

Our go-to dog park. They just put in new grass. There is access to plenty of fresh water for the pups and seats for the humans. There's also a side for smaller or timid dogs.

NO DOG DOCK I came because the photos showed a dog dock. Cool little dog park with a great view of the bay however there is no longer a dog dock I guess they shut it down a few years ago. Not a bad park if you're local.
