If you are looking for a place to get a quick grub/drinks after work, or just have somewhere to put your dogs for the day, Skiptown is the place to be, most affordable, outdoor and indoor seating, daycare to grooming, all in one. All the staffs are friendly and outgoing. This place never disappoints.

Skiptown is great. My pup stays here anytime I travel for work. Drop off and pickup is super easy. The app lets you get reports of the visit each day with photos. He also enjoys daycare when I’m busy with in person meetings. Can’t recommend it enough.

The employees truly want to be there and they show it by taking great care of the area and the dogs. They keep the park clean and sanitized while it’s open and even after they close. They are really personable people and are willing to help you and your dog be as comfortable as possible. Opening week they even had a photographer take photos of you and your dog. My dog truly had the time of his life more fun than he ever had at any other park. He was originally traumatized after I took him to one of the more prominently known dog parks but at Skiptown he never wants to leave. To top off of the food is amazing too I always get the honey hot pepperoni pizza and it hits every time. Bring your dog to skipdown I promise they will have a great time.

Amazing, friendly staff. Always clean. My dog loves it here! And there’s an indoor area (with AC!) where the dogs can play when it’s too hot (or stormy). Lots of water bowls that are cleaned and changed often.
Outdoor play area is sanitized and kept cool with “ice islands,” sprinklers, and splash pools. There are shaded benches and picnic tables, and it seems more have been added since I started going here.
Bar is great and the food is good. Not “Michelin star” rated, but tasty :)
I’ve only used their daycare once and my dog had a blast. Staff takes great care to make sure the kennels and play areas are spotless. They put dogs into size and activity level groups for daycare.
Highly recommend!
PS My Dad calls it the “Canine Country Club”— which I find hilarious 😆

I can only speak for the park aspect.
* Went for the first time today and I loved it. You only pay per dog, and with this being my first time being there, I got free entry. And I was able to bring two friends with me. Upon arrival, I was given this newcomer goodie bag that I thought was really cute.
* They do you have a full bar, although most of what you find on the cocktail list in the app is canned. Luckily the bartender I had loves to make drinks so instead of giving me a can, she offered the hand make it - I had the Bacardi rum punch.
* I feel like the skippers were very attentive. Anytime there was a sound of a scuffle I seen reaction. No, they don’t allow toys, but that is because toys are a top reason for dog scuffles. There was a lady there selling dog treats, I don’t know if she always is there considering this was part of their grand opening celebration weekend, but we were told not to give the treats in the park again because that is another resource for something to happen.
* the area is very spacious, there are lots of places to sit inside and outside. And they also have a very small gated area where dogs can go in, but only on a leash. This was nice when we wanted to eat our pizza and didn’t have to worry about all the dogs jumping on us. They are also working on getting a splash pad put in.
* pricing: I paid $50 (including tip) for hot honey pepperoni pizza(so delicious) 2 Bacardi punch rum drinks (made, not canned) and a strawberry margarita. Canned drinks are about $10, which yes this all seems like a lot, however, it is a business and that’s just the way of the world.
* during this celebration they had an artist that does the animated drawings and he was phenomenal and fast. Also free! Shoutout to Tony Smith! ❤️
‼️ also just wanna say that yes, the skippers are there to help mediate any issues and be the safety officers, however, the actions of your dog ultimately rely on you. So it is very helpful when owners actually pay attention to their dogs and help prevent their dogs From exhibiting unacceptable behavior. I say this because today there was a lady with two bigger dogs that were guarding the water bowl, and anytime a dog was trying to go drink They were causing issues and for some reason the owner thought it was funny. Which it was initially when they kept playing in and dumping the water bowl. But playing around and resource guarding are two different things.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. It would definitely be worth paying for, and I actually live an hour and a half away and would not mind driving up here on my weekends to hang out for a few hours. 🐶 ☀️
