About

This dog park is a favorite for many because of its massive size and great shade. Owners love the separate areas for big and small dogs, though some have noted it can get pretty muddy after a rain. While most people are friendly and responsible, a few have mentioned issues with aggressive dogs or owners not paying attention. Still, it is a top-tier spot for pups to run wild.
