Not ideal but sure. Your murder machine who tries to fence fight every passing dog and will absolutely frantically attack any other dog with it and its 50lb companion in the Dmall dog side?? THE DOG PARK IS NOT FOR YOU. The Audacity to Know your dog needs muzzled or it will kill another animal, and then to yell at Me because I swat your dog with my dog's leash while my 15lb pomeranian screams in terror and your big dog is circling is unrivaled.

There was a cool breeze through the canopies on a very warm day and garbage cans to dispose of our leftovers. When we stumbled upon the gorgeous flower gardens, I could not believe it. There were multiple gardeners working outside of the conservatory and although it was closed, I can't imagine that there was anything more beautiful inside than what we saw outside. We were able to sit over at the benches and rally enjoy the fountain and manicured flowers. There was a large, veryrude family that did come through who wanted to scream at their kids and then try to take photographs in front of the flowers like a happy family. Then allow their smaller children to stomp through the flowers and scream loudly while they stared at their phones. And there were of course at least two young ladies posing for "the gram" that picked flowers and made obnoxious gestures in ridiculously skimpy clothes... I guess those types of things can't be helped these days and they are no reflection on the garden itself, just be prepared for your peace to be interrupted. We also made a quick stop at the Rose garden which I did not find to be quite as beautiful but smelled lovely... There were just too many bugs and it was there were just too many bugs and it was far too warm to spend much time there. If I lived closer to this park, I would come everyday to listen to the sound of the fountain and appreciate the beauty of the topiaries and flowers and I would recommend a stop here for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

Other than that, it's an A+ rated dog park.

We had no trouble with anything the breeder did what so every. Hula had kidney trouble from a treat a friend would buy her when she came to visit and 2 years later it was called off the shelves. By that time it damages a little part of her kidney. Which our vet did everything possible to keep what she had healthy. But 16 is nothing to sneeze at and she ran around right till the end. Cordia, I'm not ready to get another Shima right now because I miss her so much. But when I'm ready I will be back for two. That was my only regret that she only had big dogs to play with and I had wish she had a buddy her size. Thank you so much for the best little Tea cup Shima ever. She looked the same until the end. She wasn't a barker, but she definitely was a talker. She loved playing with children and would run around them. She sat quietly for older people and ran like a speed racer. I'm sorry for the people who had not so good experience but we had nothing but greatness with hula girl. She graduated top of her puppy class, agility, and adult class. We were definitely blessed. Oh and she loved stand up paddling such and athlete like I said we were blessed with a smart and loving tea cup who thought she was a great dame!

Of course, the magnum opus of the park appears to be the bridge, which allows you to stand over the beautiful blue water. I love that the park offers picnic benches to sit and enjoy the space.
