Before you go

The grassy areas are seasonally closed to protect the turf, leaving only the gravel section open. Not ideal for older dogs or sensitive paws in that window. Check posted rotation before heading out.

Frequently asked

Is there a separate small-dog area?
Yes, fully separate fenced sections for large and small dogs. The small-dog side has a ramp-bench near the gate so you don't have to bend down to leash up.
What's the ground surface?
A mix of grass and gravel with a paved walking loop, which keeps dogs out of the mud even after rain. The grass sections close seasonally to protect the turf, leaving only gravel open.
Are mixed-breed dogs welcome?
Reviewers single out an unusually accepting culture, including for pit-mixes and breeds that draw side-eye at other parks.
When is parking a problem?
Saturday evenings and events at the nearby speedway can fill the lot, and race-night fireworks have startled dogs, so skip those times if your dog is noise-sensitive.
Is there water to cool off?
Water is available on-site, along with a couple of tubs for dogs to splash in on hot days.
