I like how they have separate fenced in areas for tge small dogs and big dogs. My dog had so much fun running around and playing with the other little guys. I liked how there was a covered area with seating for the humans. The water fountain was turned off for the cooler seasons, so bring water for your dogs if it's fall or winter.

Nice and large and the multitude of trees provide variety for the pup. Love that there’s a water station as well. The only downside is that it is pretty much all dirt so I’d avoid it when the ground is damp during/after a storm.

Great place for dogs with so much energy that needs to be drained. Especially if you don't have a lot of time during the day. Have two areas one for under 25 and one for over. Has a trail you can walk around also just make sure the least is at least 6in.

Great dog park with 2 fenced areas. Just park in the lot and walk up path towards the left. Dual gate entrances. One side for smaller or less confident/socialized dogs, puppies. Busier side for dogs who love company and interaction. Both are large spaces with seating for humans :) Water bowls. Poo bags are usually available, provided by the park (please pick up after your dog). May be muddy after rain.

The Dogwood Disc Golf course is great. It's mostly wooded technical shots though. So if you're looking for more of a mix, this probably isn't the course for you. There is some pretty decent signage, but some of the trails between tee pads could use more work. Gets a bit thick in the spring and summer.
