There is a good amount of space here for dogs to run around and play. It is broken in to a large dog park and small dog park as well. It is very rarely crowded and the families that frequent here are very nice. However, the maintenance on the park is very poor. The gates have been broken for the 6 months that we have lived in lakeside. They are kept closed with rocks, which is far from secure. There is a drain in the small dog park which has a man whole cover that we found to be wide open at our last visit. There are also large holes scattered across the park that are very dangerous for dogs when they are playing. The fence closest to the creek has open spots in it that are big enough for small dogs to fit under. When it rains and for many days after the park is a swamp and practically not able to be used. If we were not residents of lakeside, we would not bring our pup here. read more
