J. Lee Vause Park and Dog Park

We really enjoy this park because the main pavilion is very convenient and pleasant to sit in while the kids play on the playground, but there is also a field where the kids can run around and play football or soccer. There are additional smaller pavilions to the right and left of the main pavilions down the paths which are usually well kept. We have only been here a few times where the garbage cans have been overflowing, but that was probably due to some party that didn't properly dispose of their trash in the MANY trash recepticles conveniently placed around the park. Sadly some people do not dispose of their trash in the recepticles so periodically there is quite a bit of trash, but my family tries to tidy up when we come since we do love this park. There are bathrooms. They are relatively well maintained considering they are open all the time. Anytime we have had trouble with them, the park has addressed quickly and satisfactorily. Our dog has gone to the dog park a few times and had a pleasant experience. There is a small dog and large dog section and it is well maintained and spacious with a watering station.

Great little park. Picnic shelters, restrooms, lots of shade, huge dog park areas, play ground and enough room to take a good walk.

Clean, quiet, and lots of space. This was a lovely spot for our dogs to run and we had space to enjoy the park and sit when needed.

Beautiful scenic hike, but some of it is NOT clearly marked. If you use All Trails or something like it, you can figure the trail out. The trail we went on was below and to the right of the lookout area.

Beautiful park! Very nice pavilions and playground, restrooms, walking paths and board walk! There is both a small dog and large dog park and both are large, treed parks with benches and tables. With two large dogs, that was mainly what I was looking for, but I can see coming back with kids and grandkids and possibly even having a family reunion activity there!
