3 months agoUpdate: the small dog park has been refurbished. They have addressed the dirt spots which has been helpful. Unfortunately they didn't set up the sprinklers properly because some of the sod they put in is now dying if it doesn't rain. And one sprinkler pipe must be broken because it is creating a hole. The solution? Put a cone over it. C'mon guys!... You can do better than that!! ZERO STARS for the SMALL dog park. The park is poorly maintained even though they close the park for 4 hours 2 days per week for "maintenance". Grass has died and the places where there is growth instead of dirt there are only weeds. There are many red ants so they must not be treating for them. Certain visitors allow their dogs to poop and don't pick it up even though there are bags available. Other people bring in dogs to the small dog park that are clearly not under 30lbs jeopardizing the safety of the small dogs and potentially their owners. FOUR STARS for the LARGE dog park. It is much better maintained. It has a central pond. It was refurbished a few months ago. Has a lovely shaded area.
