I take my dog 4 or 5 times a week. The dog off leash area is across the Jordan river from the main park. This time of year the grass is thick and healthy. There is a drinking water fountain. The best features for the dogs include a completely fenced area, disposable bags and trash cans and lots of space to run and play.

Awesome park. Several playgrounds. Different themes. One has a xylophone and drums and miscellaneous other sound making devices. And amazing how it's built right into the playground. There are several outlets AC power to plug into lots of little coves add nooks where you can hang out and not be bothered it's one of the best parks I've ever seen plenty of shade great place to be

One of my favorite dog parks by far. Very big and open. People are friendly, I love the amount of space, and there are a few benches for sitting. In the spring there’s lots of dandelions. In the winter the bridge to get to the park gets pretty icy. The rest of the park around the fenced dog area is pretty empty most of the time. I much prefer the grass here to parks with sand or gravel.

The dog park here is amazing! I met some great people while letting my dogs play here! The park is a fun place for kids, teens, and adults! They have cute plastic hammocks that I love to lay on while letting my siblings play here! The homeless community seems scary from afar but they are actually very nice and great to talk to! I highly recommend coming to this park to walk your dogs, let them play, and let your kids play!

Great park, well maintained. Just wish they had more water fountains around and my a pathway that surrounds the park so u can walk around it. Other than that.. Its still a great park!
