Empie Park

Great large and small dog park. Park grounds crew keep it tidy since 2006. Still unobservant dog owners who fail to pick up, but there are two big shaded runs, Water bowls and kiddie pools, benches and a gazebo. Balls for chasing hoses for cleaning off the sand (no mud). Everyone is engaging and cares for the facility. No escaping or digging under the chain link fence. Hats off to the grounds keepers who keep the bags stocked. Folks if you see them, thank them. They are underappreciated and dedicated.

Great place to take your kids because we took our grandkids to the park there and me and my brother use to go to softball games way back then because my mom use to play. We use to play with all the other players kids. My oldest grandson loved the park!!

Another great park. Tennis courts, children's playground, dog run area, great walking trails. My most recent visit the grass was mowed, however alot of weeds growing in plant bed areas needing attention. Also women's bathroom needed attention. Multiple dead trees.

Very nice park. Tons of parking, 19 tennis courts, bocce ball courts, horse shoe stations, connects to a greenway and lots of bike trails. We went on a Saturday around 9:45 and while it was busy it wasn’t overwhelming at all! The dog park is nice and shaded with tons of water bowls around, running water and benches to sit at. Slightly smaller but very clean! Our dogs loved stretching their legs!

First time here, close by. Decently sized with shade, access to plenty of water. There is soft vinyl pool there for dogs to splash around in which was quite stagnantly gross, and doesn't appear to be cleaned often. Which was reported to me by other dog owners. Pet owners friendly. 🚻 not too far away. Inadequate parking for designated for dog park visitors that are taken over daily by womens running group or cyclist groups, that meet pretty regularly. This complaint was also brought to my attention per local pet owners during our visit. When pet owners have kindly asked that they not take up the majority of parking spaces right at the dog park and to please utilize parking closer to towards the 🚻, which are plenty. They disregard and appear to have no consideration, as though they are entitled. It's always nice to find a place to bring your dogs to be out in nature, socialize, and get their needed exercise. I am grateful/thankful. Yet, that pool must go or be regularly cleaned by park staff.
