Great dog park for both small and big dogs in separate areas. Kept clean and good space for shaped areas and access to fresh water.

This park is mind blowing with all the new renovations. You have at least 2 entries to enter, beautifully maintained grass, new water fountains and a red adorable hydran for the pups to enjoy. This is by far one of my favorite dog parks thus far. There are misters installed!!

I and Gambit(my Sheperd-Husky) like the University Dogs' Park. It's clean, organized, and offers a good vibe. Thank you 😊 for keeping it open to the public. Many blessings to you all 🥰🎉

Clean area. Seperate zones for large and small breed dogs. Has. Very neighborly feel. Everyone at the park with their dogs were so nice. It's definitely a community of people that see each other there a lot. Plenty of water for the dogs and poop bags at the ready.

Nice park. It's inside of the big city park which also has the amphitheater, swim park, fountains, baseball, basketball and tennis, YMCA, plenty of walking paths, skate park, playground etc. Nice to have all that as well. Plenty of bathrooms nearby. Inside the actual dog park there is two canopies with misters and benches under them on separate ends of the park. Each also includes a watering station for dogs, which honestly isn't the best I've seen just consisting of a faucet, but does the job. Also a drinking fountain recently made filtered and with an area to stand up and fill a water bottle, for humans. Only problem for me is that it's a little too brightly lit, with the bright lights coming from above , gives it a basebalfeild feild sort of feel. Personally I think the actual dog Park at Miles and Seeley is much nicer, nicer grass and more small hills dividing up the park a little bit. All in all a great Park though. PS word to the wise : don't leave your boyfriend alone there, awesome place to pick up chicks. :P
