My favorite place to go swimming with my water loving lab! It is never too crowded and very clean.

Our dogs were there for 8 days and had a great time. They were well cared for, and we received daily photos! I especially appreciated that & the fact that they're staffed 24/7. We highly recommend and will most definitely take our pups there again.

We booked a dog birthday party for nine dogs: the reserved area inside the front door and an 18-hole Golden Tee round for four. We left within 30 minutes, after three holes. A few things didn't go well. Three of the eight taps wouldn't pour when we swiped our wristbands, and an employee who came over to help told us those kegs were blown. The owner says they were full. If so, her staff told customers otherwise, and the footage will show it. The Astroturf out back also had such a heavy urine smell that we came back inside after a couple of minutes. What ended our visit was the employee who introduced herself as the manager. She was beyond rude from her first sentence to our last minute there, and it felt personal. She scolded our group repeatedly and gave the "keep the dogs in" speech at least six times, including when every one of our dogs was already inside the closed-off area. When I asked why, she confirmed leashes weren't even needed there, and the lectures kept coming anyway. She went after the kids in our group too, enough that their older sister took them home early. I'm 40, and I've never been treated that way by an employee of any business. Our whole group was uncomfortable, and we left rather than take more of it. The other employee working that day was wonderful: friendly, hardworking, and a pleasure to be around. That tells me this is a training and management issue, not a staffing one. To the owner: I've removed the employee's name and the photos. It's a great concept, and I genuinely want local businesses like yours to succeed. You have my number from the reservation, and I'd welcome a call. As of Thursday, September 24, almost a week later, I still haven't received one. I'm confident the footage matches what I've described. Check the tapes. The door's open on my end.

What it has going for it: - good fencing, gates and entry area - decent size run - dog drinking fountain - poop bags provided - limited views of river What it has going against it: - no small dog run - ground cover is packed dirt...bad drainage - no shade - limited seating - no parking close to run When they were planning Riverstone Park I am sure they needed to check off the box for a dog park, but I think it was at the bottom of the list of priorities since there doesn't seem a lot of thought was put into the planning of this dog park. Access is from the Centennial Trail. The closest parking is on West Suzanne Rd or you will have to park at the parking lot for Riverstone Park and walk over 1/3 mile to this dog run. This public dog run/park is being used mostly by the tenants of the adjacent Riverstone apartments. Add shading, more seating and better ground cover and this is a 3 star dog park/run. Fixed the drainage issue, add a small dog run and better access and this could be a 4 star dog run/park.
