It's a great place to let your dog socialize with others. Water hose there to fill up buckets. Two spots available, one for large dogs and other area for smaller. My dog gets very excited before we even get a chance to park.

I love that they brought a dog park to d.t.s.b as it was much needed. The park seems very well kept and the dog owners clean up after their pet's waste as potty bags are provided. A closed off area for small dogs and one for large dogs. My dogs enjoy coming here!

We love this dog park! Conveniently located close by, lovely river off to the side and trail. My only dislike is that there's a busy street right by (thankfully there's secure fencing, but just concerned of people crossing or a possible dog getting loose.), so be sure to stop for a good second and check before crossing. Both turns are curved so you can't immediately tell if you're in the clear to cross. My other dislike is that a good number of times there's always a few people that don't watch their dogs, whether they're being too aggressive, hump-y, etc. Obviously that's not the park's fault itself, though. The park itself is very long, but not quite wide. But with the only two semi downsides aside, I overall love the park! There are two sections. One for large dogs and one for small dogs. Often people mix in their different sized dogs to either area, though, so just a word of caution to smaller dog owners. We bring our two Danes here and they're just smitten. There's also a hose where you can wash the buckets and bowls for dogs to get a fresh drink. People are mostly friendly and I love seeing all the different dogs that come there. Overall, great park!

This dog park is ok, but not fantastic. It's REALLY good for big dogs. There are lots of play stuff there for the big dogs! But for the small dogs (which is what I have) there really isn't much there for them to play with or interact with. It's in a very nice and secure location, they provide poo bags and a waste can. The gates latch. There are no holes in the fence where dogs can escape. So all around it's a great dog park. They just really need some new play equipment for the small dogs! Other than that, it's great.

I enjoy bringing my dog to this park. Unfortunately, some inconsiderate person cut the fence separating the small dog area and the bigger dog area. No cool !!!
