This is the first GREAT "big dog" park we've been to since leaving the North! First of all, there is plenty of easy parking. Secondly, the big dog side is HUGE, with mixed terrain, like hills and flat, a little woods and open land, dirt and grass. Most dogs could find a place to be happy. The best part, though, was the king of dogs and owners that were at the park. With the exception of one cranky guy, everyone was very okay letting their dog get down and dirty and play like a dog. If you've ever been to a dog park you know what I mean. This park is open sun up to sun down.

I bring my small dog here about once or twice a week, and he absolutely loves it! One of the best things about this park is that they have separate areas for small and large dogs, so I feel comfortable letting him play without worrying about bigger dogs overwhelming him. The park is well-maintained, with both grassy and paved areas, which is great for different types of play. They also provide free dog poop bags, which is super convenient. There are water bowls available, picnic areas for owners to relax, and plenty of parking, which makes visiting hassle-free. Beyond the dog park, there are other areas for children and recreational activities, making it a great spot for the whole family. It’s a pretty large park, but I mainly come for the dog section, and it’s always a great experience. Highly recommend it for dog owners looking for a clean, spacious, and well-equipped place for their pups to socialize and play!

Took my pup today at about 11:30. It was not super crowded. It’s a nice, very large dog park! Tons of balls around and dog bowls to fill up with water. Mochi loved her first time at the park! Will definitely take her there again.

Nice area for dogs to roam and play with other dogs. Since the large dog park is temporarily closed for renovations, they have a schedule to separate the large dogs and small dogs.

Just about every time I've gone theres been a dog fight... And every time each owner blames the other dog - I don't think people here know dogs very well. I would not recommend coming here unless you have great control with your dog and this is the only park around. The park itself is large and is separated for small and large dogs. As other comments mention though, the "regulars" tend to be the problem and it overweighs the good qualities of the park.
