MEMBER ONLY! Even though I could not get in this park is not worth the membership. There are only 4 parking spots everywhere else is a tow away zone, and one handicap space. The park is very small With no obstacles for the dogs. I've been to many parks that were much better and were open to the public.

This is an erroneous listing this park is only for dogs that are registered or from the community this is not a public park.

This dog park is super convenient to have for your dog to run off some energy. There is a fenced area for large dogs and separate fenced section for small dogs (great idea). I do notice some people do not pick up but typically it is in good shape. Poop bags are available and a water pump plus a couple benches, shaded area, and chairs. Grant it, nothing like a large dog park with trails, both sections are pretty small, but having smaller dogs, it serves the purpose for us and we're very glad it is available to use (we would be upset if it were closed).

Great park. Our dogs love going. Who ever said the park is to small is wrong. Our Vizslas are very active and have plenty of room to run. Their completely tired out when they leave. The best part Gateway charges a fee to belong. The fee of $25 per year for residents and $100 per year for non residents , which I am, is reasonable for what they provide. Members must provide proof that their dogs are up to date on there shots and spayed and neutered. Members are provided a key card for entry. The park is closed Thursday morning for maintenance. The park also has two separate areas if your dog is timid or shy.

I have gone to the park on three different occasions and my disappointment is very overwhelming. The first reason that most would agree with, or so I think. The park is divided into; large and small dog areas and for a very good reason. On day one the large dog area was under renovation, nice to see right? However, this lead the large dog owners to simply pick up and take over the small dog park. Then my second trip to the dog park, by the way is not free. Again large dogs in the small dog area, so I simply left with my five pound puppy. Because out of curiosity they were their first. My third and final visit to this dog park. Great no one is here, what a fantastic time to let me new puppy get adjusted to the area before the others gather to play. Not the case at all once again a rude nasty man in a black BMW showed up with is large dog and right to the small dog area he came. Nevertheless, dog not leashed and charging at me not aggressively. Again my five pound dogs first time at a park. They man not (gentleman) was rude and nasty when I explained it was my dogs first time at the park and not adjusted to large dogs. Very unpleasant anyway! The office by the park was informed and could do nothing about it. My advice build your on puppy run and tell Gateway CDD no rules apply.
