The fenced portion is not as big as other parks but I like it that way. Much easier to monitor all the dogs and still plenty room to play. The park is well taken care of. There's a big community of dog people here who are so friendly and caring too. Lots of places to park, the playground for children is close by, restrooms are close by, can see Lake Benson through the trees. Dog fights don't happen often and when they do, it's quickly stopped by attentive owners.

Large dog park, always busy with nice dogs! I bring water and a bowl for my dog every time, their water fountain is not really functional.

Nice dog park. Separate space for smaller/larger dogs ( 25#). Water, benches, space to run.

My first time taking my girls at any Dog park and was a little nervous doing so but they made friends will definitely be going back with my girls every one I met was so friendly I will definitely be taking them back.

A little crowed. Popular place. Big dogs and little, separated. A large area just many people.This was one of the series of warm days after winter so everyone came out to walk. The trail that runs around the park is a great place to walk or run also. Your dog needs to be leashed here. Nice views of Benson Lake and a big field to enjoy along with a gazebo for eating and grilling.
