    This is hands down my favorite dog park. Now with that being said, I'm giving it only 4 stars…read morebecause of the lack of a clean water for the dogs to run in. Sure, the creek is right there, but it's not in the dog park. But honestly, why quibble? This place is great! Each loop on the side sandy/icy track (depending on the season) is a 1/2 mile trek and a great way to get your way steps in as your hound does the same. Crowd wise it always varies. I've been there early where I'm the only one and the hound is running everywhere sniffing and pissing on all as he gets a sensory overload. Other times not only is the hound running everywhere sniffing and pissing on all, he's also playing with the other hounds that are there. And he yes, he's getting his ass sniffing on. There are two gates. trash cans at each location. Plus sometimes cans are located around the main loop along with that occasional picnic table where us out of share humans can sit. Water is brought in by volunteers (from home during the summer months) along with mailboxes situated to easily grab a plastic bag to pick up after your hound. But honestly, the main reason this place is so amazing (s/b a five star review but we don't every asshole showing up) is the fact that there are volunteers who work with the county, donate personal resources, along with their own time to make this place so great. Don't believe me? Go to their FB page as there is a real community about this place. Oh! One last thing. When it's cold, and that wind blows from the west across the open field and where you walk, you will feel it. Also, there are times when that same loop can be incredibly icy so be careful.

    We really loved this dog park! Parking was great. There is a little short walk to the entrance of…read morethe park. The park itself is great, they have a great system of making sure all of the dogs have enough water with a watering station, lots of water jugs, and even a water wagon to help transport the full jugs to the park. Make sure you grab a full water jug when you go walking around the park to help out and fill up the various bowls around the walking path. There are also lots of grocery bags in the mail boxes!
