This has been an incredibly nice addition to the public offerings of Racine. Mostly always friendly people and dogs to hang out with and enjoy. How lucky to have such a large area for our big bigger friends and yet still a large area for a smaller friends too! And although you can't expect perfection, out of the thousands of times we've been there we've only had a few bad experiences so I would rate this dog park as 8.4/10 and we are lucky to have it!

Always a very lovely place to go, even if the swimming falls at the moment. I can't wait for it to reopen, but it does not look like it's going to open this season. But it's always still a nice park to go. Take a walk in, take your dogs or even just to sit and have a picnic

The best features of this dog park: 1) It is reliably hopping even durning the week days! 2) It has a doggy water fountain - one for humans and a separate lower tier for the dogs. 3) It decently sized! It can easily fit over 15 dogs and their owners and still offer plenty of space to be alone. 4) A lot of smaller, less nature centered, off leash parks don’t have any trees. This one does! A few other positive factors to consider: It’s completely fenced in. Has a picnic spot with shade. Has ample parking spots. Is practical rimmed with trash cans for poop disposal. AND has a port-a-potty right there.

Really loved it the two sections for small dogs in large dogs very clean and just being around other dog owners a very great experience

I got a dog. My name is brownie. He is very sweet person. He like to play with other dogs like a small dog not a big dog.
