Hands down the best dog park we have ever visited. Very…read morespacious, full of trees, clean, and has two separate, fenced areas (one for the bigger dogs and a smaller area for the little ones). Also, doggie bags are provided and there is a water fountain for the pups. Being here you can forget that you're at a dogpark and walk around between the trees, enjoying nature. The only downfall is that the fence is old and since my dog is an escape artist he can get through both gates and into the parking lot. I like to think that I trained him not to do that anymore, but in reality he's probably just having so much fun with the other dogs that he forgets that escaping is still an option. We frequent this park multiple times a week and love it! The dogs are friendly and the owners are responsible.

This is such a cute dog park!…read more We are in the area visiting family and brought our Boston Terrier along. There weren't any other dogs there when we stopped by (during the day on a weekday) so we let him run free in the large dog area. The large dog section is huge compared to the dog park we go to back home. Love the trees and picnic tables. We will be back whenever we are in the area.

Not many people frequent this dog park so it is a great place to train your dog, but if you are looking for your pawbud to socialize this is not the place to go. We've been here multiple times and probably only ran into one other owner. This park doesn't get much shade at certain parts of the day as there are no actual trees inside the fenced area, but a few large oaks surround it. Great place to watch the sun set over the river while Mr. Sniff-a-lot enjoys the aroma of the park.

I would have given this more stars because the dog play area is actually nice. However, they need…read moreto make a rule that aggressive dogs arent allowed. It seems like everytime I bring my dogs here to let them play, some guy in a white dodge caravan with 3-4 huge st bernard type dogs shows up and they literally act like they are rabid. Barking excessively, growling at other dogs, etc. It baffles me how some people feel they are so entitled that they should be allowed to do anything they want and it is everybody else's responsibility to accomodate them. Also, I know atleast one of the dogs was not leashed in the parking lot area. People, if you have aggressive, ill mannered dogs, DONT bring them to public places! Absolutely ridiculous!
