Relatively large dog park with three different sections, for big dogs, small dogs and another small section for training dogs I understand. Lots of trees and always in the shade, lots of rags and knots from the trees, considering there are a lot of them there it's normal. Dog poop bags are always available, there is water dripping from a well and buckets of water if your pet gets thirsty. A few old wooden equipment for dog training and a few tables with benches where you can sit and relax. It's always not crowded so it's our favorite spot. Sometimes you can find a bus full of doggy daycare here. It doesn't bother us, our dog loves to play with them. But some people don't clean up after their pets and I stepped on dog poop 2-3 times 😣 There are no full toilets in this park, there are 2 bio-toilets outside the dog park.

Wonderful Space.....The only issue are the gumballs rolling under your feet. So far it's been great! Nice for hot temp days, terrific amount of shade. Seems that we regulars keep up the park instead of the city. Not a problem overall. As I am so thankful and grateful. It is the best by far!

Our boy loves this park! We've been bringing him here since the day he was old enough. There's so much room to run, lots of shade on his days, and loads of friends to make. The only issues here are the same that you'd find at any other dog park; some people neglect to watch or clean up after their pets so watch where your step and keep a close eye on your pup.

Great space! It's divided into 3 parks and the big dog park has PLENTY of space for everyone. There's water on one side of the park, and there's are buckets for the pups to drink out of. Bowls would be nice and a couple more water places.

Great dog park! Very large area with plenty of room for dogs to run. Dog water stations, agility platforms, and many benches and tables for humans. There are also two separate areas for small dogs or for dogs that need exercise but don't play well with others. It's very much in a pine forest, so there is lots of shade and the ground cover is a mix of dirt, leaves, and pine cones/pine needles. Watch out to not trip on roots. The park is conveniently located right off of I-40 or Tryon Rd in a quite neighborhood. There is a community center right next door as well. Highly recommended!
