I was SO excited when this park was in the works and I lived right around the corner, but once it…read moreopened it was kinda disappointing. It's a cute spot. The trees provide good shade in the summer. And I love that there's even an option on this side of town. But this park is too small. They have a little bit of equipment in each yard plus a bench or two and a trail looping through the trees in the main yard. I never see water out there, but the waste bags are usually stocked. Be aware that you park at the Boyson Rd Cedar Trail trailhead and have to cross the bike path to get back to the dog park. This could be stressful for some dogs when traffic is higher in the summer. It's truly just not enjoyable for me or my dog if there's more than one or two other people in the main yard. More often than not, humans and dogs end up clustering and clogging right by the entrance. This tends to result in doggie shenanigans and not enough actual running and playing. I've noticed that the humans tend to be less attentive or responsive to their dogs too, making it extra unpleasant. (Akin to letting your human toddler punch and scream at other children in the park so you can be on your phone and blowing off their parents when they tell you to watch your kid.) With more spacious options to choose from, I don't bother with this park. Unless it's an off time of day, the crowds that come here are just not worth it.

Very small, and not much grass. Giant wood chips make it very difficult to pick up dog waste, and…read morethe trash receptacle (only saw one) is tiny. Nice fencing and large trees.

There's a picnic area at the inner trailhead as it's close to the small lodge I believe. I tend to use the access off of 31st St instead of driving through the park. I've seen more runners than dog walkers on the trail, but wayyy too much poop. It also gets really muddy and buggy when the weather is right, so it becomes unenjoyable for me. I'd recommend in dry weather during the daytime so you don't step in mud or poop.

Hands-down the best dog park in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor! Our dog grew up going here and…read moreit's a must-stop whenever we return to Iowa City. THE BASICS: The 12-acre public dog park is located in Iowa City's beautiful Peninsula Neighborhood off Foster Road and maintained by the City of Iowa City.

Then, you proceed down the path into a gorge, keeping an eye out for fossils. I saw a bunch of fossils on the bank to my right, before I even made it to the gorge. There were a few people scattered walking their dogs, although one group was actively looking to spot fossils and had the brochure from the Army Corps of Engineers about the different fossils present. All in all, this was a great spot to spend an hour walking around. I did see evidence that people have poached fossils from here, which is a shame. Look, but don't take!
