We've been coming to this dog park daily for 4.5 years and it's been a goldmine for my energy-filled pup. It's a huge area of fenced in grass to run around on, with some agility equipment and surrounded by trees.
It used to be $25 for the whole year (a steal!) and it required a pass to get through the locked gate, and all dogs to be neutered and have their shots in order to get a membership. I can't believe people didn't want to follow those rules or pay the small fee for the upkeep of it. It became free to the public almost two years ago. For the most part, the dogs who are brought in are friendly and the people who come, look out for their own dog and pick up after them. But there are also those that do not pick up after their dog, and don't pay attention to the dogs or what's going on around them. Some bring in unsocialized or unfixed dogs and that can get stressful and even dangerous for everyone. The park is not kept up like it should be (lots of poop and the grass is most of the time too long so you lose balls and toys), but it is still my dog's happy place and we continue to go.
The park is broken up into three areas - two large dog areas separated by a gate and a small dog area. It's really great having that gate so you can separate dogs if need be. The small dog area does not have a water fountain so if you bring your dog into that area, you have to bring your own water. In winter they shut the water off completely in the whole park, so it's important to bring water and a bowl around November through April. The shade structures don't provide much shade in summer and are not waterproof when it rains.
We've met some really lovely people through the dog park and my dog has some great puppy friends there. If it hadn't become free to the public, we might not have met half the people and dogs that we now call friends.
We love this park, but it does have its faults (mainly due to people and lack of resources for upkeep). If it was a paid for park and was kept up better, it'd be a 5 star rating from us.
Great for a free dog park. It has three large fenced in areas (sorted by size), benches to sit on and a water foutain for your dogs and you. Great free facility!
We were very pleased about this new dog park. It is clean, mowed and our dogs had a really great time! They are ready to go again!!
