7 months agoThey just "Re-seeded" the large dog side of the park only. 6 inches deep!! Very unsafe for dogs and owners trying to play ball or any fetching. Plus, as you can see in photos, the dogs prefer the outer ring off the pee gravel. Then, loose gravel all over sidewalk, making it a unsaplace to walk. Terrible idea!!!!

6 months agoI had heard good things and since the usual haunt was closed we took the pups there to play. Unfortunately, it seems that they just decided to switch to gravel on the large dog side and my dogs were not fans. They just walked around the edge on the concrete for the most part. Definitely a bummer. We won't be going back. Grass is nice but difficult to keep up here. My dogs are perfectly happy with dirt or sand, though obviously the pea gravel is uncomfortable for them .

5 years agoMy first time at a dog park. To me, the facilities were excellent. Water for both humans and dogs, plenty of dog bowls. There are two areas, one for small dogs and one for large active dogs. There is free Wi-Fi here and a place to sit in the shade. The grass is well kept and there's a rock perimeter around the main grassy area. There's a short hose by the drinking fountain, which was nice because I could spray my dog down to cool her off. I was able to spend a little time here by myself. I wasn't sure how my yellow lab would do with other dogs. Several other people showed up and she did great with them. Everyone was nice and I had a great conversations.

7 months agoThe large dog section is unsafe and not dog friendly. What a waste of tax payer dollars. Why do small dogs get grass? Many of the small dog owners in that grass section are not tax payers. Their voice gets heard! Let large dogs into grass area until this issue gets resolved. What is the council opinion on this? . .. .voting booths open soon!!!!
