There is a smaller area for smaller dogs or if you are getting your fur baby used to playing with. For the human guests there is a bar area with food, including pizza, a few different alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. And of course the mandatory pup cup with a cute milk bone because what outing is complete without a pup cup. One thing to note is if your fur baby is over 1 they do require proof of being spayed or neutered. That is the ony downside for me personally because I have a smaller breed puppy and am nervous about that procedure. Other than that 4 paws up!

You are definitely barking up the right tree if you bring your furry friends to this dog park!!…read moreIt's super "pup"ular place for dog lovers! Today it was packed! I have a Goldendoodle Grand-puppy, Hampton, who loves romping around this grassy enclosed park. For safety and convenience, they have two separate fenced sections, one for big dogs and one for small dogs. Be sure to take note of the posted rules. There's a water station to refresh your pets after they are done frolicking and socializing with their playmates! Today there was a dog festival and people with their pooches came from all over town! There were several tables set up selling dog treats, handmade dog toys, t-shirts, baked goods and more. This, of course, made the barking lot crowded! They could definitely expand the parking! In the summer, pools are filled so your pups can cool off with a swim. For pooch lovers, this is a hound haven... but for me it was a bit too mutt-ch. I did, however, run into several friends who had their loyal canines with them so I had fun being the pup-arazzi! The rest of the park was full of families enjoying the other amenities at this park like the playground and picnic areas. The facilities were well maintained. Tails are wagging at this paw-some dog park where "man's" best friend can raise the woof! If your nose isn't used to doggie smells, it may be a little ruff! By the way, if you get directions from Yelp, it may lead you to a dead end near a gas station. Just stay on Pump Road and it's just by Broad St.

Still, the owner shows up every day with her two elderly dogs that seem to gain no enjoyment from the park although the rules clearly state that aggressive dogs aren't allowed. She does have a shock collar for Willie, but is always too busy socializing to pay attention to her dog, and in my opinion, if you need that type of device to keep your dog in line, maybe the dog park is t the best place for it. Anyway, I've mostly given up on bringing my dog here because people are continually bringing aggressive dogs here against the rules. Buncha jerks.

Sorry but I don't need my dog to be covered in mud and leave it all over the inside of my car or seat covers. The other dog park (I assume for small dogs was chained off because I guess it's new grass planted in there? There is a side for Big and small dogs. But really if dogs are peeing and pooping on wet dirt and everyone's walking in it including dogs that's gross. So used to pros with lush green grass. We weren't there for long. I took my small dog on a walk on some trails. They do provide doggie bags and poop-cans to dispose of poop. The small dog area was nice looking with grass and all. Hoping they plant grass on the muddy side otherwise people won't want to bring dogs here.

I love how I can bring my dog here, and he sleeps the rest of the night. For the dogs and the people, I would give this park a 5. I gave this park a 3 for a few reasons. When it rains, the park get very muddy. I don't mind giving my buddy a bath, but it makes my car dirty haha. There's a hole in the outer gate, and recently the inner gate latch broke. The last time I went here, the trash cans weren't emptied. There really isn't anything wrong with the park, but I think the city should put more funds into this park

We have a 9 month old mastiff and she needs room to run and romp with dogs her size. There is no designated small dog/big dog area (not that the limited space provided would allot for that). The only reason it gets 3 stars is for the simple fact that it was fenced and nearly empty when we stopped by. It works if you need something quick.

I can see it being frustrating to find a spot as it gets closer to boating season though. I was not a fan of the boat launch area, it's design was not very user friendly for easily getting into your kayak. You have to step off a ledge into your boat, or use the small muddy area to load and push off. The point it puts you into the river is great though, and you can go left for a nice paddle up to Bosher's Dam.

During this crazy time of Covid and politics, our priorities have shifted from dining out…read morefrequently, to attempt a more healthy lifestyle of cooking most meals at home, and seeking out alternative sources of entertainment, ones that permit us to breathe in fresh air, enjoy what nature has to offer, and maintain social distancing. So, after visiting a few terrific Virginia State parks, renting kayaks, we decided that this would be something we would like to do regularly, and purchased our own boats. How many times have you crossed Huguenot bridge and thought, oh neat, look at the people kayaking, what fun? Yea, that has been me for years. So we decided to check out the Huguenot Flatwater put-in area and while it is a challenge, it is doable. By this, I mean, it is CRAZY steep, there is a ramp that the "fit and brave" smaller and experienced kayaker can attempt. For us, we carried our kayaks down the steps and were able to launch from there with relative ease. The main issue we had, was that it got super busy, and it was really noisy with the constant sound of vehicles on the bridge. We paddled down river for a bit but decided to play it safe and head back up river so we could float back and were not fighting the current and didn't get too worn out. When we were about ready to head back in, there were so many people trying to put in, that people were having to wait to get out. And then a bus load from a tour company came and we decided to head over to where a trail end let out on the river, decided it was safe, and we carried our kayaks through the trail and back to our car. Not far. The "coolness" and novelty of urban kayaking wore off within 5 minutes of being in the river. It wasn't peaceful at all, but we did get a decent workout and enjoyed the views. We will definitely continue to seek out different places to kayak, and kudos to those who love the adrenaline of being in that environment. I personally just prefer more quiet and fewer people.
