Village Green Dog Park

Went to try a new dog park . This one is different from most other parks. It's located in a parking lot between a shopping mall and a apartment complex. It's actually quite large. It's also a single use park,not separated by large and small. Water was available,and waste cans. It has artificial turf. Not really a big fan of turf,it can become smelly if not washed down. My dogs had a good time playing with both the big and small dogs. Not sure how I would feel about coming here during the summer,no shade and plastic turf. But it's fine during the morning.

Looks have been traded for lesser comfort, practicality and healthy environment at this dog park. While the park looks pretty and has nice outdoor furniture and even sculptures, it lacks shade and is covered with artificial turf. The fake grass retains odors from the dogs using it as a restroom and breeds germs. If your dog is healthy, you love the sun and don't mind the smell, this could be your place.

This is a little hidden gem of a dog park. Nestled between a bunch of retail businesses, restaurants, and apartment style housing - this park is a great place to give your dog some room to run around and get some exercise. I wish I could give this 4.999 stars, but the only downside is that the fence is rather short and if you're throwing a ball it will often go outside. The shrubs make for a good visual barrier so the dogs don't get too distracted, but there is a lot of commotion around the park during certain parts of the day.

The dog park is located in front of Paul Martin's. It is quite convenient for those that live in the apartments nearby however, not so much if you have to drive there. The parking is shared with many restaurants and you must cross the street with your doggie to get to the park. It is a well maintained gated, grassy area with cute little statues of animals and fire hydrants. There is also a doggy bag station to pick up their feces along with receptacles for proper disposal. Park is open with minimal shade. There are some benches and small tables nearby. Deducted 2 stars because the location is not really ideal for dogs as you would only go there for the sole purpose of hopefully meeting other dog owners and then leave. Otherwise, it is simply a grassy courtyard sandwiched between restaurants and businesses. There is no other recreational activity for your pet such as walking or relaxing.

My dog loves this park. We have generally not had any issues - both the dogs and people are friendly and it’s close to some shops if you want to grab a quick bite or coffee. It is a turf park which is nice and generally quite spacious. In the evenings, they turn overhead lights on and that gives a good effect. Highly recommend if you’re within 15-20 minute driving distance!
