This dog park is awesome. It has a large area with plenty of grass, trees, and benches. The dogs can run and play freely, and there are always friendly people and dogs to socialize with. The park is clean and well-maintained, My dog loves coming here and always has a good time. This is the best dog park in town.

From Minnesota and we went there and played tennis. The courts were in a beautiful spot, with the hill and trees on one side and then overlooking the city on the other. There are tennis courts on top of the parking garage at my friend's apartment complex, but we were just looking for something different, and this was...very cool park!

A beautiful park to visit that has access to dog friendly areas, playgrounds, restrooms, and picnic areas sprinkled thoughtfully through the park. Stunning views and well maintained but take very extra special caution when alking through the park or choosing to go off trail. This is a steep park in a very windy area that collects a great deal of moisture (think thick, swiftly moving fog) and will be muddy, slippery, and can have the danger of large tree branches falling or ones already down across trails. The park is host to a wide variety of activities from dogs playing and folks in drumming circles to open air drug use, loud and violent verbal arguments and is a known cruising location and prime spot for car theft and car jacking. Mindful awareness of being in a city park that can be as sketchy as it is welcoming is a wise approach to this area in general. It is definitely a place to be appreciated with caution and a clear head.

Buena Vista Park is such a nice retreat from the City. Great views from all angles, and usually plenty of space from others. I still don't trust my dogs to run around off leash because of drug users' campsites, but the walking is still great.

A relaxing park. Especially in the early morning as soon as the sun comes up. Not the largest as far as space for the dogs to run. But a serene and majestic experience none the less.
