A perfect Gem for dog! I usually spend an hour here. Commuter dogs will be out and about from 6am to about 11am. The Afternoon dogs come out by 3pm to dusk if you’re looking for friends for your pal!

It's a really nice and clean spot for dogs BUT the design is not great. There's a giant light pole randomly placed within the gated area that dogs can easily run into and hurt themselves. There is a middle bench area which is also harmful and I have witnessed first hand many dogs get stuck, fall off and even pinch their abdomen trying to fit over the benches. It really has a bad design regarding those things. Lastly, the ground is harsh on dog paws. Especially runners. It's made of pebbles which can quickly irritate dogs with sensitive skin and leave paws swollen and capable of infection. I would recommend this spot for dogs because it is big and beautifully convenient but because of those 3 issues I cannot.

Very nice place. My school played a quick tournament there was very comfortable. I really like the surrounding areas.

I use this place almost daily for my dogs. It is clean because the good people who come, pick up after their dogs. There is water available during the spring, summer and fall. There are almost always other dogs there to play with. There is a side yard for small dogs if you are worried about them getting hurt by larger dogs playing.
