I want to give it a 5 start but there's is way too much poop 💩 in the grass area which is most is the park. I'm not the only one because ppl were wiping their shoes before getting into their cars... So yeah. It's a 3 star for me.

Friendly dog park, there’s two sections divided depending of the size of your dog. Very large and spacious for them to play and run. I like to bring my dogs here during the afternoons, that’s usually when it starts to get a little bit busy and you can meet other dog owners. 🐾

Easily the best dog park I've been to. Can't beat natural grass. Dogs are pretty friendly with mindful owners. Had one incident where a male dog started making to mount my girl, so we left before escalated. Would've been nice if his owner handled it instead but whatever not a fault of the park lol Other wins: -Provided poop bags -Separate areas for small and large dogs -Water fountain with bowl for dogs -Lots of seating, gazebo Feels like this could be our home base while only stopping by others occasionally!

It was a nice park but it definitely had issues. First of all, it has both a small dog section and a large dog section. The size of the area is good, but there was so much dog poop littering the park. Which was a shame. There was also no water for the dogs. There were faucets in the area but none worked.
