Fun experience , fields average , limited to no seating so bring a chair . Parking is an issue

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice, well maintained, fully fenced in park. Location is good, easy access with free parking. If only there were more dogs coming... I always drive past it and, at most, see two dogs in there. Its size is small which may be a turn off for larger breeds who need lots of running, but it long enough to get my Boston Terrier tired after a few laps. Hopefully come summer we'll see more dogs!

Well maintained field, plenty of parking. Big group of pickleballers in the area play here. Usually pretty busy.

It's a nice set of well maintained field. And there's parking for all the games on weekends! Portapotties are a little gross, though.

The field is really nice now, after two years of maintenance and being closed for half a year, it's become green again.
