What visitors say
★★★★★
“We visited from out of town, and our two dogs were happy here. I sought this park out because it is not astroturf, which retains an awful urine smell. (The S Street dog park was pungent.) There is water and shade, and there were about 10 dogs to play with on a warm Tuesday…”
★★★★★
“A well maintained dog park with running water and benches. Usually has at least a dog or two any time of day, and can get very busy, while still providing plenty of space for your pooch to sniff around. Unfortunately, it is pea gravel, so Snuffles and Fido will get pretty…”
★★★★★
“Great big dog park in the city. Lots of benches and tree boxes. Sometimes there's scuffles with the dogs but that's true if any park that gets busy. They do fun special events occasionally like Doggy costume party at Halloween.”
★★★★★
“What the park lacks in beauty, it more than makes up for it by attracting all sorts of wonderful dogs and their people. A great spot to meet dogs and people!”
