Nice dog park right on the rail trail. Short walk in after parking in the lot, the park is covered in peastone with concrete pathway. Separate section for little dogs. Water, bags, and trash available. Lights allow the park to be open for fixed hours, regardless of sunset.

Google is confused because there are several different area at Thorndike, including soccer fields, kids play area, and a dog park. The dog park has separate areas for large and small dogs. It has water during the summer. There is a port-a-potty by the parking lot.

Very spacious for dogs to run around with seating for the humans. I like the different structures and tunnels for the dogs as well as a separated section for smaller dogs. There’s a rule that no toys are allowed fyi. My only gripe is the rocks and pebbles that cover the entire surface of the park. Would much prefer turf. It’s right next to the athletic field and trails to walk around as well which is nice if the park is empty and you still want to walk around with your pup.

It's a nice park depending on what crowd is there.

Cute little dog park with plenty of obstacles and space for the dogs to use. There is a beautiful and massive oak in the center of the park that I always marvel at when I visit. Poop bags and trash cans available at the entrance of the park.
