We Paid for the permit, read all the rules, waited patiently in the car for the training section, did everything by the book. My dogs not aggressive at all, they was excited to go and meet other dogs (I have two standard poodles a 3 year old and 1 year old). Then this old dude pulled up with his husky and mutt, he saw us getting out the car, my dogs was on leashed when he decided to let his aggressive dog out of the car off leashed and attack mine, drew blood! Caused a gash on her back. Incompetent, ignorant, irresponsible, illiterate human being caused pain to my dog! We will be back and I hope and pray I see him again so I can sue him for the damages he caused. I hope the city put that aggressive dog down before that dog cause serious injury! My dog now in shock and in pain. Sometimes it's not you, but other irresponsible people! Now we got a problem.

I looked up this dog park when I first I decided to move to the area and we immediately made it…read moreinto our personal backyard. It's a HUGE fenced in space, divided into three sections - training, small dogs, and general. Plenty of space to play together or branch off by yourself. There is a gravel path that goes around the entire play area where human parents usually just walk laps to keep up with their fur babies. I've noticed about as much forgotten/missed poops as I have at other parks, but the backdrop of this one is so soothing. It's tucked back in Squaw Creek Park by the driving range, surrounded by wild grass and a community garden plot. The park is maintained by CR Parks and K9COLA, which hosts small events at the parks every so often (Halloween treat hunts?!)

I was SO excited when this park was in the works and I lived right around the corner, but once it…read moreopened it was kinda disappointing. It's a cute spot. The trees provide good shade in the summer. And I love that there's even an option on this side of town. But this park is too small. They have a little bit of equipment in each yard plus a bench or two and a trail looping through the trees in the main yard. I never see water out there, but the waste bags are usually stocked. Be aware that you park at the Boyson Rd Cedar Trail trailhead and have to cross the bike path to get back to the dog park. This could be stressful for some dogs when traffic is higher in the summer. It's truly just not enjoyable for me or my dog if there's more than one or two other people in the main yard. More often than not, humans and dogs end up clustering and clogging right by the entrance. This tends to result in doggie shenanigans and not enough actual running and playing. I've noticed that the humans tend to be less attentive or responsive to their dogs too, making it extra unpleasant. (Akin to letting your human toddler punch and scream at other children in the park so you can be on your phone and blowing off their parents when they tell you to watch your kid.) With more spacious options to choose from, I don't bother with this park. Unless it's an off time of day, the crowds that come here are just not worth it.

Like it's sister park, K9 Acres in Marion, the park is divided into sections for training, small dogs, and general play. We prefer Cheyenne for the winding paths through the trees. It's a little more secluded and peaceful, even if the rugby players are out. Our dogs love chasing each other through the wooded areas around the path and the shade the trees provide on hotter days. It seems to engage them a little better and tucker them out quicker ;) There's plenty of water around the trails and an occasional sled serving as a pool. They have some play equipment - seesaw, tunnel, bridge, hoops - in the general area.

THE BASICS: The 12-acre public dog park is located in Iowa City's beautiful Peninsula Neighborhood off Foster Road and maintained by the City of Iowa City. Plenty of parking or easily accessible by trails. Annual or day passes are available, but if you go a few times, the annual pass is definitely the way to go. FIT FOR ALL DOGS: Thornberry has several fenced areas, including for your large, high-energy dogs and those that might be more shy. FEATURES: Four newly-installed dog agility structures, dog poop stations, dog wash area with towels and soap, pond and dock, paved trails lining the perimeter and several shelters.

There's usually a handful of dog owners and dogs of all sizes on any given day after work. Watch out as you watch around, this is one of the messier parks we've been too.

Then, you proceed down the path into a gorge, keeping an eye out for fossils. I saw a bunch of fossils on the bank to my right, before I even made it to the gorge. There were a few people scattered walking their dogs, although one group was actively looking to spot fossils and had the brochure from the Army Corps of Engineers about the different fossils present. All in all, this was a great spot to spend an hour walking around. I did see evidence that people have poached fossils from here, which is a shame. Look, but don't take!

Includes 4…read moredifferent dog areas: a small dog park area, a big dog area, a special needs dog area for training or dogs like mine that do not play well with others, and a wild "natural" dog area that is completely fenced in. I recommend wearing good hiking shoes in this area, as you kinda have to forge your own path through the thick bush. I was able to do it in sandles but I wouldn't recommend that. My Beagles are hunters and love this kind of a park...and since I'm a wild child I probably would do it barefoot if i had to, since these dog areas are rare and always make my heart sing. Good quality doggie bags provided, some shade and a picnic table in each area. The water fountain is in the common entrance area of the three parks, so that was a little different, but it was thought out well and works fine. There's a porter potty for humans and a small parking lot. It's within a forested area and away from houses or traffic. I think it was built on $62,000 of donations and that in itself is pretty cool!
