What visitors say
★★★★★
“both park runs are average sizes for the dogs. big enough for full off leash fun but not super big. there is a lot of glass and garbage in the small dog run. so that is a let down 😕”
★★★★★
“Great dog park. Clean, well maintained, with running water for dogs and large trees for shade.
It's usually been empty when I've brought my dog, but it's great when others are there. Hopefully it becomes more popular!
It can also be a bit buggy in the summer so bring bug spray.”
★★★★★
“Wonderful, shady, mulched park. Community collection of tennis balls and throwers near the entrance, and right off the beltline. Jealous I don’t live in this neighborhood!”
★★★★★
“As large as the big dog side is, some irresponsible owners opened the middle fence to join the 2 sides. 2 small dogs were bullied by the large dogs.
In the past, we've had an ok time here.”
