Dog park

👍👍 It's real! At first I didn't think so but we walked over and it is. It's sorta hard to get to and not out in the open. Tucked back in the corner. They do have a parking lot on the other side of the park or you can park on the side street that is a little closer. It has two sections so it could... People often mention park, dogs, people, play,

    It's real! At first I didn't think so but we walked over and it is. It's sorta hard to get to and not out in the open. Tucked back in the corner. They do have a parking lot on the other side of the park or you can park on the side street that is a little closer. It has two sections so it could potentially be for big and little dogs. Two entrances, two garbage cans, and a water fountain. Hopefully more people will know it's here and it can become better known.

    Decent little park. Don't go here as often as I used to after finding a significantly bigger grassy park a similar distance from my home. Parking lot isn't great...or even good, but at least there is one. Alternative is to park by the school closer to the dog park, but that can be a pain during the school year depending on the time of day. Supposed to be getting a cement path from entrance of dog park to entrance of main park, but there doesn't seem to be any movement there. Plenty of shade and the pools make it a good little spot for hot days.

    This park is just what I needed for my newly adopted pooch! I was so worried off leashing her in open spaces and this allows for just that so she can run free! Well maintained and kept. People I've encountered seem respectful and willing to socialize their fur babies. So happy to know this is here!!

    The dog park is a decent sized Park. It's too bad it can't be seen by the public. I believe more people would take advantage of it.

    I love this park! My dog always has a great time, the people are so nice and it's well maintained. I wish I could give it 10 stars! It's hit or miss if it'll be busy, but everyone who comes here is so polite and watches over their dogs. I find it relaxing to be with other dog owners who want to interact with me and watch their dogs closely. HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Unfortunately this place is a big litter box. It seems unsafe to let your dog in here with so much fresh poop in all the pebbled areas, especially with some sickness going around in dogs at the moment. I wish people would clean up after their dogs because it would be nice to have access to a relatively clean fully fenced area. It's not that hard.

    My dog loves this place whether she's making new doggy friends or chasing a tennis ball by herself.

    This park is so convenient and good way for your dog to meet other dogs. This park is near the back of the actual park itself so your dog can have a little exploring before actually going in to socialize. Once in the space is pretty average sized. There is an additional gate to split the dog area in half. Mainly for those with more aggressive dogs. Also, they have waste bags there for you to use. The rocks they have instead of grass make it easier to pick up after your dogs, but make sure they don't eat the rocks. The only bad thing I will say about thise park is the driving there. The street that park is on has ALOT of pot holes. I get scared for my car when I'm going there. Parking is also very limited. So if there is a little league baseball game going on there good luck finding parking.

    My dog used to love to come here and play when her best friend used to love in the neighborhood and would come in and play with her. Now she still exists walking over and meeting new dogs there and going in late at night when no one else is there. But a great little party to let your dog run around and meet other dog parents that live in the hood.

    I grew up in this neighborhood until about 1981, there was no such thing as a dog park but this park was great when I was a little kid growing up in the 70's, it was a great time of my life and I'm glad to see so many people enjoying it today.

    I brought my pup here a few months ago. She was a bit overwhelmed with all the dogs (much larger than her) which was normal since she's used to smaller dogs. An hour later another small doggy was attacked by a much bigger dog and apparently was badly injured. He got really competitive over a ball and attacked the dogs that tried to play with it. From some of the frequent visitors, we found out that the dog was recently adopted and I guess his owner doesn't quite know yet how he behaves around other dogs. My pup was caught in the fight but thankfully she got unharmed. Very scary... I haven't been there since.

    Great area for the pups. I have a 2nd home near there and my boy loves it.

    This was our first visit. The park was clean and the people were friendly. It was obvious that the local dog community takes an interest in the park by encouraging people leave extra poop bags for those that might forget to bring their own, advocating for a foot path for easier accessibility, and obstacles for dogs to play on.

    Nice fenced area, water available (non winter), plenty of space for a nice doggo to run and play!

  • 4/5 Jen S. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking is weird but the dog park itself was nice. Ramps, kiddie pool, and two secure entrances/exits.

    My dog loves this place. Bonus points for having an A frame!

👍👍 My dogs favorite place to run around with all her friends. Perfect on a hot day where they could cool off in the water. Only wish they had better fencing, since my dog likes to escape with a bunch of her friends and run off to the human side.

😠 What a disappointment ☹️ We travelled far to experience this park and it looked abandoned and neglected with overgrown weeds and broken/forgotten obstacles some with rusty nails sticking out and unsafe for dogs to be jumping on them. The parking lot was blocked off and the surrounding tennis courts...
