There's even a dedicated dog park, but dogs are welcome throughout the whole park. We love that there is a large parking lot which (usually) makes it pretty easy to snag a spot. There is so much open space to lounge, have a picnic, or have your 1.5 year old run around and burn off some energy. The big oak trees make it easy to find a shady spot on sunny days. It's our to-go spot for the whole family when we want to get out of the house without having to go too far. Starting in June, they have a farmers market on Saturday mornings. We are so excited for that!
