It's a nice medium sized dog park with an agility course and separate small dog area .. also it's free just beware there's a coyote den near by so keep an eye on your pups

Wonderfully kept dog park. Appears to be pretty new with multiple areas: small dogs, large dogs, agility area, and a section for 1 family at a time…( which i think that is a very novel idea for those families who need to allow their pups to adjust to social situations or just want their pups to enjoy the freedom of being off leash but know there might be incident with other dogs). Only down side is the watering station is outside the pen areas but I assume it would have been harder to put water lines in all 4 areas. Definitely a park worth visiting over and over.

very nice dig park. they have several separated areas. one for small dogs, one for large dogs, one for agility and one for " dog family" I guess if you have a small doc pack! it's cleans and has water

Decent location. Water doesn't work. No shade and no where to sit. No bags. Otherwise clean park with a decent fenced area. No division between small and large dogs.
