Harley (my pup) and I really like this dog park…read more The Park There are actually 2 fenced dog parks at Fireman's Park. One for small dogs and one for large dogs. Harley is in between size wise but so we go into the large dog park. (Its much bigger anyways). Both parks are very well kept. There was no garbage anywhere inside, they have a bunch of garbage bins so no one leaves their trash around. The fences are all in good repair so no pups are escaping. The grass both inside and outside the park is kept short which helps prevent ticks an other bugs which is very nice. Amenities There is a large water fountain for the dogs out front of the park so you don't need to worry about water. They also have buckets so you can bring water in. There is a holder for poop bags but it seems to always be empty. The parks also have a ton of benches and tables so you can sit an relax along the walking paths. The Dogs I know this isn't something the park can really control but I have found that the dogs/owners at this park are better behaved and more understanding then at some of the other parks in the area. We have only had one minor conflict between Harley and another dog and the owner was very apologetic and took care of the situation quickly. The only minor blip here is that sometimes people with really small dogs. (5-10lbs) will come into the large dog park and that could spell disaster. Harley and I will definitely be coming back here a lot more.

This is the largest dog park I have been to date. I could see this as being a blessing or curse…read moredepending on how vigilant people are about watching their dog(s). It has a lot of shaded areas, a first for me in the world of dog parks. There was a nice paved walking trail that made a loop, this was great to walk around with the dog to practice off-leash walking and also to have the dog explore other parts of the park. My only real complaint is that the little dog side is for dogs that are 10kg(22lbs) or less and the big dog side is everything else. That could put a pretty small dog on the big side. I think 13-15kg would be a better fit. My dog doesn't care if her play partners are big or small, but it might matter to some. The other dog owners weren't very talkative, which I am not used to. Usually people are super friendly. All in all, I will be back and I did really enjoy the park. I wish we had a similar one by me.

I have finally gotten around to visiting this dog park and it is a love at first sight…read more The dog park is located at Deveaux Woods state park . This play area for dogs is clean, well taken care of and spacious. The park includes a couple of large fenced in spaces- one for small dogs and one for large dogs . There are also a couple of separate , smaller play spaces that are connected but fenced off from the larger areas . Being my first time , I took my dog in to one of the smaller ,private areas where she was able to see and play along side with other dogs , but with a fence between them , she loved it . The smaller sectioned off areas are also a good size for dogs to run and get exercise . There are stations with bags for clean up , there is a hand sanitizer station and lastly a water fountain that is dog height as well as one that is people height . This is one of those spots that I'd almost prefer to keep quiet about , but all dogs deserve a visit .

Visitors really stay on top of their dogs. I didn't see a single pile. Or maybe all the dogs just become like those kids who get too caught up in playing to take a bio break.

There are separate sections for small dogs and large dogs so the small dogs don't get trampled. The small dog section has a little obstacle course of sorts that reminds me of dog shows. Both sections have a few sitting areas and a basket filled with an assortment of toys. There's a new baseball diamond with covered dug out. The bad: The softball field and old baseball field do not have covered dugouts. The jungle gym is very small. The ugly: I'm not sure how well kept the nature trail is, but the entrance appeared a little over grown. There's some poison ivy in the large dog enclosure so be careful.

Quiet and secluded trails leading to picturesque hidden ponds. Wide enough for two skiing side by side in some spots.

Plenty of parking and nicely plowed. Fun!
