This is a great place to bring your dogs! It is situated in a beautiful park, and there are two dog areas: one for big dogs and one for little dogs. Inside these areas are benches and picnic tables, and plenty of room for your dog to run. The annual fee is $50, which gets you an electronic key that you will need in order to unlock the entrance door. I highly recommend it!

An absolute paradise for dogs and their owners! The separate areas for large and small dogs are well-designed, with plenty of shade and water stations. Our pup loves socializing here, and we appreciate the clean, safe environment.

Nicest fields that I've ever played on. The four fields have turf infield are well-maintained there is ample parking .there are bathroom facilities and the facilities are clean. the softball league I played in was very competitive yet the competition was friendly and the empires were outstanding.

Melas park is a big place to go for a walk , meet friendly people,take your dog since it's dog friendly and play sports or bike. There is a good size playground for kids in different ages ,plenty of parking places and benches to restor have coffee with friends . I would love to see some of the places in the path being fixed, its not easy to walk around some of them especially if you have physically challenged or have disability.

Love it here. Running water would be nice but the park is full of great people and k-9s. Very spacious
