This dog park does have nice fence. It did not work out for us. People did not clean up after their dogs. There was only one entrance when we visited & this led to a dog fight as people went in & out. I kept my dogs on a leash & waited for over an hour to enter. Sadly the humans didn't control their dogs so there were people arguing. We did not feel safe so we brought our dogs back home. Our experience was not positive so we will not be returning. Please be careful if you take your dogs.

It’s a nice enough park but a weird choice for a type of fence. The park is on a slope, and dogs famously like to chase balls, but the fence posts are wide enough for anything smaller than a kids soccer ball to pass through.

The Cato Dog Park is beautiful for dogs and their owners to enjoy! The large space provides ample room for dogs to run and play, and the gazebo is an excellent addition for owners to relax in the shade. The park is well-maintained and always kept clean, making it a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs to have fun. I highly recommend this dog park to anyone looking for a spacious and well-equipped place for their furry friends to play.

Large fenced dog park. Double door air-lock entrance, but I am convinced people don't understand the significance with the amount of times they will just open it on others when they are in the middle of wrangling their dogs in or out of the park. Two covered areas with limited seating. Playground adjacent.

Great park. Nice people. One lady had her dog there that was in heat. My dog is fixed but tried mounting her and every other dog in the park. I scolded my dog once but then we left. It is not his fault..
