★★★★★
“Nice small dog park, with a small playground, and small doggy pool!There are two areas it appears one side for smaller doggies (small side), and the other for larger dogs (bigger part). Wood chips cover the area, very little to no grass. A few shaded areas/shaded seating. …”
★★★★★
“Park hours, Dawn to Dusk. Not open 24 hours.
Great place. Well kept. Water available. Woodchips instead of dirt/grass. There are 2 connected parks here, separated by fence.
Nice training obstacles that appear to be somewhat new.”
