Used to go here 4-5 days a week for about a year and loved it, not a fancy park but the etiquette is nice and there is a lot of run space for the pups! Unfortunately, there are a few new regulars that bring their dominant/aggressive dogs after work now. They are aware their dog is the problem but won’t leave if their dog gets worked up or attacks another dog. After the second attack on my dog where he lost a bit of his ear, I've stopped going. Beware visiting every day from about 530pm - 8 pm if you have a skiddish dog or a dog that doesn’t do well with aggression. A Pleasant Dog training facility has reasonable priced training for aggressive dogs or younger dogs

Great dog park nestled in Fulton Heights. Easy walk from a lot of different directions, always lively but never overcrowded. Lots of shade and benches, and of course cute pups!

My dog LOVED this place! Tons of tennis balls and toys! The big dog side is mulch style turf and the small dog side is grass.

Nice large fenced area with friendly people and dogs. Go 3 times a day while spending summer in area. Lots of balls to play with, water bowls, and bags to cleanup after your dog. Lots of shade and places to sit.

Stupid, non-sensical, ridiculous dog park. There are no bags or trash cans in the park itself; there is one trash can outside the fence, but the lack of sanitation encourages people to leave shit laying around. Also the entire park is dirt covered by wood chips, your dog never leaves clean
