About this park

A large recreation complex whose dog park splits into two big fenced areas, often stocked with stray tennis balls for impromptu fetch. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding woods, with plenty of shade and open sun depending on where you stand. An aquatics center, skate park, and ball fields share the grounds, so parking is ample.

Before you go

There are two parking lots set far apart, so check which one drops you closest to the dog park before parking. Tennis balls turn up on site, but pack your own water.
