About this park

A small neighborhood park on a hill near McCormick Field, with an open field, one picnic table, and a bench under the trees. A dog waste station with free bags sits by the walking area, along with a trash can and a recycling bin. Foot traffic is light enough that the field is often empty.

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

The hill does the work: an open field with a choice of full sun or tree shade, and a waste station that reviewers note is actually stocked.

Senior dogs Reactive dogs

Before you go

There is no fence and the field sits above a road that carries steady traffic, so keep leashes short at the edges. Park in the lot below and walk up.

Frequently asked

Is it fenced?
No. It is an open neighborhood field with a road running past it, so this is a leashed walk rather than an off-leash stop.
Are waste bags provided?
Yes. A dog waste bin with free bags sits by the walking area, next to a trash can and a recycling bin.
Does it get busy?
Rarely. Reviewers describe having the park to themselves, which is what makes it workable for a dog that would rather not meet anyone.
Is there parking?
Yes. A lot sits close by at the base of the hill.
