Hi y'all Just noticed the AI is telling Google users that this is a dog park where your dogs feet won't get dirty. I am here to tell you, the ground at this park is as dirty as the rest of the city. I'm guessing a single person left a previous review mentioning that the pavement HELPED to keep the dog clean. AI summary ran with that and just told me "your dog will not get dirty at this park because of the pavement" I can easily imagine a situation where someone reads that "summary" and comes to the conclusion that the park was made with this pavement in particular to keep dogs feet clean. Sorry it's an AI nitpick but we need to keep it in check every way we can.

After the walk in the beautiful park we went to Chinatown! Chucky Jolie loved her special outing!

It's small but good for letting your pooch run, make some new doggie friends, and there are usually plenty of tennis balls for playing fetch. The ground is hard cement or gravel for your dog won't get too muddy. On a warm spring sunday, there were 6 dogs and the water fountain was on.

Live down the street and my pups love it here. Friendly people fun dogs kept clean- no pretentious behavior like other parts of the city. Good times for pups

Sure, it's just black top and it could use a little love but my dog loves coming here and hanging with other dogs. We're very grateful to have a dog park within walking distance. The water fountain is now on and there's a kiddie pool for the water loving pups.
