The folks who bring their dogs here are for the most part attentive and friendly, and both sides have a shelter with a picnic table or benches and chairs as well as benches along the fenceline. There are plenty of dispensers with good-sized, sturdy "mutt mitts" and trashcans dispersed around the fenceline for picking up after your dog. On weekends there's usually a well-attended 10am meetup on the small dog side. The medium-large side is huge with loads of room for unobstructed ball/frisbee throwing and a path that traverses around the inside of the fence. Parking is usually good except when there are soccer games on the fields at this end of Southern Community Park. We often park at the north end of the park and walk the easy quarter mile over to the dog park (there's a paved trail), and you may have to do this if there are soccer games going on. If there has been a lot of rain, the lower end of the medium-large side has an area that gets really muddy and should be avoided if you don't want your dog getting into the mud. We enjoy going here several times a week. It's an excellent place to get some good off-leash social time and exercise for your dog.

It is still clean (a positive) and there are more people who live downtown now so it's slightly busier on the weekends. However, there is still little seating or shade.

It's no fun to be here, and given its lack of appeal and small size, there are hardly ever other dogs here either.

When I go to Burlington to visit family, I will bring my furbaby along for the ride. I found this…read moreplace thanks to searching for dog parks on Yelp! And saw there was no reviews, tips, or photos. So I drove to it, passing it a couple of times before I realized, it was a dog park, on the edge of the park, across from the cemetery. Creepy. I never been to a dog park before, so I didn't know what I was looking for. It was two separate fenced in fields, about an acre each. One field is for small and older dogs. The other side was for large dogs. That's great because my puppybutt has a Napoleon complex. There were benches, waste receptacles, and water fountains inside of each. You must register before entering the park. It didn't take long to do. You can let your dog off it's leash, if you choose. I did so because there wasn't any other dogs inside the one I went into. However, you must be within ear shot of your dog, in case you need to call out to them. Kind of like a child at a playground. You want to be mindful. Most of the rules are common sense, but again, be mindful that you're not the only one there. All dogs entering must wear a collar (non spiked or choke), show tags, and rabies tags. Must be leashes entering and exited. No females dogs that are in heat. A max of 2 dogs per person. No children under the age of 16 without adult accompanied. No food, drink, or glass containers, no smoking, no alcohol, and no food are allowed inside. No aggressive dogs. I've been here a few times and it's always been pretty peaceful. Twice there weren't other small dogs present. That's probably because I went during the week, while 1st shifters were still at work. If you have a dog and are looking for a bark park, this one is a pretty good one to visit. Haven't had a bad experience yet and my dog seems to love the space.

Trails - well maintained, nice for walks with the dog Dog Park - I try going when I don't think there will be too, too many dogs since I heard from previous reviews some owners don't pay too close attention if things get rowdy. They have provided water bowls, doggie bags, and trash bins as well as seating for the owners in both the small and large dog areas. Also I've noticed - perhaps some owners left them for others to use - there are also some well loved tennis balls to play with if you don't bring your own toys. With the rain, it does get to be where you may not want to bring your dog there since the mulchy muddy combination gets intense. All in all, looking forward to getting back there once it dries up!

There are two areas: one for small breeds (under 30 pounds) and one for large breeds (over 30 pounds). Each area has benches and water stations.

First time I came here a girl brought her eight week old puppy into the large dog side when there were some big damn dogs up in here. We tried to politely explain that maybe not the best idea because she hasn't had her shots and she could be hurt. She got super angry and stormed out. Said the puppy had her shots (um, no) and then glared at everyone from the small dog side. Second time some dudes dog comes and pees on my leg, no big deal except that's a training opportunity. He said I "shouldn't have worn such nice stuff to a dog park." I was wearing dirty jeans and three year old boots. I don't care if dogs jump on me, jump on my boots, get me filthy with black mud. That I can just remove. If your dog pisses on my damn shoes that's a different story and while it happens, it's an opportunity for you to say "NO!" And explain to your dog that we don't pee on people. Instead he literally laughed. So yeah, nice enough dog park with clueless people who don't pick up their dog shit. The good outweighs the bad but don't be surprised when people act a fool.

It seems most people bring their dogs around 5:30/6 pm weekdays. We are looking forward to attending when more dogs are here. The park has equipment, toys, water, and waste stations. The park was clean without holes and dog poop. Overall, we had a good experience here and look forward to returning!

It's a wonderful place to spend some time outdoors and I am so glad we came here. The disk golf course was the longest one I have ever used with the holes being mostly par 4 & 5. I wouldn't suggest it for beginners due to the length and difficulty of some of the holes. It was really fun and a good challenge.

Like some others have mentioned, the problems with the park aren't really pertaining to the park…read moreitself. It's usually the people who come to the park. Every so often you get someone not cleaning up after their pet, a rambunctious pup that doesn't know their own size, a h*mper, or an aggressive dog. Those are more owner issues, and with a park being public space, there's no real way to curb that. You just have to be on alert. Besides those things, my main issue is the height of the fences and that IS a park issue. It's right by a road people usually speed through, and among the many dogs I have and foster, one of them is a treeing walker coonhound. If you know anything about that breed, you know they be tree-walking. They tree-walk trees mostly, but they'll happily tree-walk their furry butts right over a fence if it's short enough. These fences are more cake-walk than tree-walk for my hound. I can't bring her here. She will yeet herself over that fence and right off the doggie census. That said, assuming your dog is not a fence-jumping maniac, it's a fun place.

The trails were relatively easy to follow and had posts with color coordination. Overall a really close spot to me so will be visiting again. I do think the trails could be longer but overall are nice. Next time will visit the water with the overlook.
