That actually could have been the slogan for most rotary dog parks across the country. The rotary, PetSafe and Kane's seem to sponsor the best dog parks. I read the reviews and a lot of people said this is the nicest one in the area and I have no reason to disagree, except, the only poop bag dispenser is a 3 hole one just outside the main gate? Which leads to a lot of biological landmines in the back corners and along the back fence line. The park itself is built on a gently sloping Hill with plenty of room for your dogs to run and more than enough places for you to sit. Eventually the trees should get big enough to provide some shade but currently there is none:-(you park in a nice little gravel parking lot right next to the dog park, the big dog park is the one with the 6-foot fence and the small side is the one with the 4 ft fence?

Although it does appear that they are just now starting to build the park out as most of it is still farm field. They were actually burning the fields the day we were here. The dog park is just a big square nicely fenced area. There is one bench in the big and one bench in the small dog park. There is a water feature but it is outside both of the dog parks? There is a poop bag dispenser and there is a trash can, but the trash can is also outside the gate? There is a nice asphalt path that goes from the parking lot to the dog park and then there is a very nice double gated entry area into both parks. But as of yet there are no shade structures or full grown trees, or trees of any size for that matter. But it is a dog park, and you're welcome to come enjoy it.

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.

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.

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.

We loved the pond for swimming and open spaces to play fetch, but there is also a lot of agility equipment available. The other visitors were very nice, and my dogs (mostly) had fun meeting the other (mostly) friendly dogs. The park is private, and while it looks as though annual memberships are available, day passes are $3 for the first dog and $1 for each additional dog. Definitely worth the money. Go check out Prairie Pastures Dog Park!

There were no other dogs there at the time so Oats had to play alone. He slept almost half the way home. Thank you for having such a great place for people to take their dogs.
