Visiting from out of town and made the quick drive to find this gem of a dog park for Hank and Echo to run the river water off. Lots of room and shade. Nearly the entire park is visible from the great pavilion!

We really like this dog park! It's a nice change of pace from dog parks that are just a flat field, it has some woods type areas, hills, tunnels and a bunch of toys! Be warned, it is predominantly sand. Definitely bring a towel or blanket or prepare for your car to be trashed haha. I took a star off because there wasn't any water. There were some buckets of filthy water but nothing to refill them with.

Great space! Dog loves it. Not always happy with the water being turned off randomly at the shelter, though. Would be nice to have cold water for the dogs on a consistent basis. Otherwise, it's a fantastic dog park.

Awesome dog park! It's sand so the dogs don't get all muddy. There is a small fee but it's only $15 annually and it is to keep the park nice. There are a ton of toys to play with as well.

Good people, clean, obstacles and nice space for dogs and humans. Great experience.
