5 months agoGreat dog park but beware of a woman who has a younger smaller looking husky who attacked my dog and my friends dog unprovoked. The woman didn’t want to take any accountability for the incident. She even stated that her dog has had other “incidents”. If your dog doesn’t do well at the dog park or around other dogs, don’t take them to the dog park. Ruined an otherwise pretty good day.

in the last weekBEWARE of the small golden color dog Lenny and his owner. Bites down own friendly dogs ear and pins them down. There is a difference between play biting and AGGRESSIVE PAINFUL biting. The elderly lady has no control and will not intervene! Happened to my dog and IMMEDIATELY to another dog afterwards. Overall nice park. Will not be going back on Saturday mornings due to this lady and her dog.

3 months agoIf you walk this park or area regularly, I can understand the appeal of having this area as a part of your route. I was seeking out a new adventure for my dogs and got way more than bargained for trying to figure out how to get to the actual dog park. The parking spaces were inaccessible due to a road closure, so at least as of this post in July 2024, this is not an easy to get to off leash dog park. I ended up parking somewhere far away and walking the entire length of the park to find the off leash area. Hope you have better luck than I did with parking.

3 months agoWe had a really fun time visiting this park! We love that it is sectioned off in high/low energy instead of just based on size. We came from out of state and this was a fantastic place for our dog to get out some energy. It was easy to find and there is a good walk to get to the park. There was a good amount of other dogs there for our dog to play with and lastly the views were great!

in the last weekOverall a nice, large dog park with friendly dogs & owners. We’ve been a couple of times on Saturday morning & I would avoid & be extremely cautious of a dog named Lenny/Leni and his owner. His owner is an older woman with white hair & she is extremely inattentive of her dog & has allowed him to bite multiple other dogs. In both instances we witnessed, the dogs were crying & their owners asked her to get Lenny & she didn't take any action. Lenny is a 20lb tan dog with a long tail & blue collar. Outside of this irresponsible owner, we've had a good experience at the dog park.
