What visitors say

★★★★★

Decent area for some exercise. No water fountain and no restrooms for people, even a port-a-potty. Not a lot of places to sit down or shade. Gets a bit muddy in the rain. All gravel, so if your pup has sensitive paws this may not be a good option.

★★★★★

Fantastic urban spot. Large for a downtown dog park. Gravel is the surface, beware if your pup has tender paws. Usually a good crowd of nice pipes here. Love it.

★★★★★

It's moderately sized, there's gravel. During winter it gets pretty icy and my dog slides around but he doesn't seem bothered.

★★★★★

Nice gravel dog park, which is great because my dog doesn’t get as dirty as at other parks. It is smaller than most dog parks but still has plenty of room! They also have bags available there so if you forget yours you can still help keep it clean : )
