Very nice half mile hike around the park. We enjoyed watching a very talented skate border in the skateboard part. There were a few people using the field to train their dogs. Everybody was on a leash to include the dogs. The dog park was huge and had two sides for small and large breeds. There was a water spicket in a bowl where you could water your dog. We were just passing through town and thought we check it out so the dogs could stretch their legs. Had a good time. I recommend it.

This is a nice park. Another family and ours took the kids and dogs here. They have a skate park, playground, walking trail, giant field and a dog park. The dog park has a large and small dog side which are both huge. There was something for everyone to do.

I love Possum Creek Park and take my small dog there at least once a week. We walk the perimeter trail. There are always large dogs in the small dog area, so I do not feel it is safe for her to go in the fenced in off leash area. You also have to be careful because some owners let their dogs off leash in the large interior area. One recommendation, would be to install trash cans along the walking path to encourage owners to dispose of dog waste. There is a-lot of dog poop all along the path. That said, it is still a nice park and well maintained.

Great park. Large. Lots there: tables & grills, walking path, skatepark, garden, playground, exercise equipment area and restrooms. Plenty of green space, too

Great park! Lots of room to run around, soccer, garden, skate park, bathrooms and a large playground. Well kept property overall. Wonderful spot for children of all ages, plenty of shade and parking!
