The fence is pretty low for a dog park so be weary if your dog is athletic. But lots of space for fetch! And there are poop bags all around the park. The park ranger also bring tennis 🎾 balls by so there are plenty at the park! And there is one water station at the front. Just for dogs tho.

Very large dog park with plenty of dogs and mice people. People actually pick up the poop here too!

I want to like this dog park so much. Its very dusty out there, the doggy bag containers were empty and people arent picking up after their pets. I always meet great people here and love the other pups, it just could use some work. It does seem like theyre trying though and thats great. Hope to see improvements in the future ❤️

This is overall a nice dog park with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. There is only the one large area, a separate small dog area would be a nice addition. The one area does have benches for sitting, a basket of tennis balls is provided and bags for picking up after your pet. It does have a water fountain and some shade trees, as well. The button on the water needs fixed, it is to high pressure and spews into the air. But if you continue to hold the button down it well become normal flow to allow dogs to drink or fill water bowls. There are some areas by the water which hold water and make mud puddles as well. The entrance is down the sidewalk from the parking lot or the road if parking on the road. *There are also 2 playgrounds nearby for kids to play on and both have restrooms.

1/7/23 The dog park is a nice size. Benches and some shade trees spaced around the park make it comfortable to spend time there, but It could use a little tlc. It gets muddy sometimes making it a little tricky to get around and play, but overall we love coming here. It's become a daily routine. 5/2023 I appreciate that the fencing has been fixed, but the muddiness is still an issue. It is much cleaner than Thompson or SE. Lots of garbage & broken glass at those 2 locations. 9/23 I wish the city could resolve these issues with the water. Filling the hole only lasts a little while as there's a sprinkler head that is still under there spewing water. This year has been a challenge.
