Nice neighborhood dog park. Has 2-gate entryway, waste bags, trash cans, benches and chairs, water pump with bowl. We’ve met a lot of friendly dogs and people here!

Plenty of room for the dogs to play Rare to find it empty save for post rain days when crushed gravel becomesgrey sludge :0(

Big fan of this park, pup loves it! It has that bocce court style sand and gravel, fresh water, double gates, extra disposable bags. All the features you could need. Community keeps it pretty clean. Nice neighborhood right by the schools, not many bad dog owners that I've run into there. No real bullies at the park

As most reviewers have noted, it’s a nice little park with a clay kitty-litter base, friendly dogs, respectful owners, and street parking. The negatives are the outer gate that doesn’t latch properly and the lack of poop bags in any of the dispensers. That just gives some folks a ready excuse not to pick up after their dog, especially if they frequent parks that always provide them.

It's a cute little park. My only issue is that the park is more like an enormous litter box for dogs. When the dogs come to play and run, the smell of every dog that peed and pooped everywhere within. The other issue is that some people bring their dogs and their dogs aren't at all socialized and they support/reinforce their negative behavior. Some of the people are nice while others are standoffish. The park has special events for dogs too. Those are very nice because you can also get your dog registered at those functions.
