Nice park, friendly people and dogs. Mulch ground cover needs to be refilled as dirt is showing through in many spots. Water fountain drain was clogged, leaving standing water in the fountain bowl. Lights present to allow for fixed hours, regardless of sunset.

Loved the park design: it’s not just an open patch of rocks, but rather feels like a fun dog obstacle course, with ramps, tires, etc. Two problems we had that prevented a five star review: 1) They were out of dog waste bags when we were there, so some spots on the edges of the pen area had dog waste that wasn’t picked up. 2) The ground was dirt and mulch, rather than rocks that you see at other dog parks. This meant that all the dogs there got super muddy very quickly.

Clean park, friendly owners. Be sure to bring water for your dog, the water doesn't work for communal water bowl.

Great medium sized park. Always friendly dogs and people. There are usually poop bags stocked if you forgot one. The only issue lately is that the water fountain has been shut off for some reason, so make sure you bring your own.

So many fun things for the dogs to play on and there’s usually a few people there. It can get muddy after the rain even a few days after, but the dogs are too happy to care much about mud. Every Halloween there is a dog costume contest with prizes and raffles. Best dog park around! And it’s got parking!!
