If you are looking for a dog park with a lot of land, water available (minus the winter months),…read moreand fenced in, this dog park is highly recommended. An important note is that there are two parks here. There is a small dog park and the large one. The rest of this review is for the big dog park: There is a two tier fencing system, where you can open one gate, take your dog in, take the leash off, and then let them run into the park. There are also poop bags in this area, and it is expected that you pick up after your dog. It has two major parts, one being flat and where most people will hang out. There are benches for people to sit and hose water for the dogs. On the other side, there is a small hill with trees in which squirrels live, so some dogs like to chase them from tree to tree. There are also chairs throughout, so you don't have to be by people unless you want to. Due to the large size, it may take some time to get to your dog if you need to so keep that in mind and stay close to your dog if you are worried they could get into trouble. Overall, I highly recommend this dog park to anyone with energetic dogs that like to run!

There is a fenced in area for small dogs as well as a separate larger fenced area for big dogs. My dog has done a really good job at this park and has had minimal other dogs while we were there. The first time there was a puppy in the other fenced in area, and the second time it was empty. If you need an area that isn't packed then I would recommend this park. I know other dog parks can get busy so knowing this one isn't makes Hickory Creek Park my go to place as of this moment. Only downside is there was no water fountain that I saw to refill her water bowl when she got thirty so I used my refillable bottle and also there was a distroyed toy someone else left inside the large dog fenced area which we had to throw away to prevent our dog from trying to get a piece of rubber off it.

This park is also free, donations accepted. The park has a fenced area for small dogs, big dogs and a walk area that is similar to hiking with plenty of trees with your dog (this part is leashed). My small dog enjoyed the whole park. There is a place for water and more than enough trash bags if you forgot yours to pick up after your dog. Lots of trees for shade and a small area to also get shade if you'd prefer that instead. It is a little sandy in some parts so I'd recommend wearing shoes that you don't mind getting dirty..and be prepared to get sand in your car.. I'll be back if I'm in the area again. Highly recommended!

My spouse, two pups, and I happily spent 95% of our time doing laps in the woods. The only downside to the park is that it's close to I-196, so the sounds of nature are drowned out by traveling vehicles. I consider it a small price to pay for peace of mind with that secure fence. I'll definitely bring my girls here again.

This place is phenomenal!…read more I am relatively new to the area and Meadow Run has been a true blessing. My dog loves it here. By now he has a few regular playmates, but he loves pretty much everyone he comes across. He's free to chase, wrestle, herd, fetch, swim, and anything else he can think of. Dogs really learn a lot from each other here. After he's tuckered out, we like visiting the Thirsty Hound; He LOVES the dog-safe ice cream bites. The community is also a huge draw. I find it's full of people who are just the right amount of gregarious. Not typically very loud, but still sociable and kind. I have had people give me advice, recommendations, recipes, and even invitations. Getting to know people here is a truly wonderful experience. Additionally, I have had great experiences with the staff. They take questions and suggestions in stride and never make you feel lesser for it. They are always more than willing to help! They recognize dogs, as well. I've even had a staff member at The Thirsty Hound remember my dog's allergies. Overall my dog and I have had a fantastic time here. I can not recommend it enough! ----- Addressing concerns from a factual standpoint: Visitation is $15 unless you know a member. If you're visiting with a member, the cost is $5 and your dog is considered the member's liability. There is a handful of paperwork you are required to fill out before your dog enters the park. Behavioral information, vaccination records, physical attributes, that sort of thing. This paperwork assures safety for your dog and others. It must be filled out regardless if it is a one-time visit or a membership. The price of the membership (which I have heard others calculate as the equivalent of $1 a day) goes into keeping things safe and sanitary. The grass stays cut down, the pond is consistently treated, and the agility course and pavilions are always clean. There are all sorts of tennis balls for the dogs to play with. Chuck-its are supplied at the front gate. There are extra leashes near the Thirsty Hound entrance just in case. Water stations for both dogs and humans are sprinkled around the park. Of course, there are also quite a few poop bag stations with trash cans. The park is comprised of one large fenced area with smaller ones inside. The smaller fenced areas provide extra safety in regards to the sections they surround: the calm section, the agility course, and the pond. This set up allows for a safeguard to the calm area, minimal distractions in the agility course, and a buffer to the pond for those who don't want a wet dog. It costs a nominal fee to use the bathing room. The fee varies based on dog size and membership status. For this fee, you have access to a plethora of professional grooming supplies, including (but not limited to) a blow-dryer, nail dremels, and face wipes. You are allowed to stay in there as long as the office is open.
