Great little park for both large and small dogs. Large dog side slopes down significantly so if you aren't sure-footed, I wouldn't recommend going down. During heavy rains, it does get muddy and parts of the hill does get mini revines carved into it. Small dog area is level. Agility course isn't too bad. Overall it's a nice enough spot.

Clean, spacious, organized, with a variety of options. The only slight would be that the designated area is situated on a steep slope. Be cautious if you have mobility concerns. The bonus is that it's heavily shaded, with ample water stations.

The park was muddy and in one of the side parks was a seriously aggressive dog growling and jumping on the fence. It the other side park was a dog blocking the gate and the owner was so into her phone she couldn't hear us calling out. The main dog park was muddy and to busy for our dog. She is well socialized and not afraid of other dogs, but today she tucked her tail and tried to get away. They need to fix the entrances so it's not so muddy. Our dog was splattered up to her undercarriage and our shoes were covered in mud.

Really worth the effort to find when we were traveling through. One of largest areas we’ve seen for big dogs. Decent size for small dogs too. Well maintained, shade and water available. We’d find it again next trip through.

Such a great dog park! Shame it’s not accessible for people with mobility restrictions. Theres no ramp into the large breed area. A guest in a wheelchair had to stay outside the run while his dog ran and played inside because the step into the run area is too steep for a chair. ADA compliance?
