The Park at Briar Chapel
Split large and small runs with a freshwater spigot
About this park
A community park with a proper dog park: two fenced areas, one for large dogs and one for small, plus a freshwater spigot for filling bowls, bag dispensers, and trash bins on site. A playground sits just outside the fence, with baseball and soccer fields and walking trails across the rest of the grounds. The covered playground canopy is a recent addition.
