The highlights

Reviewers single out the consistent crowd of familiar faces and dogs as the park's defining quality. The size of the large-dog run gets praise, and the overall atmosphere is calm and social.

The community

The same owners and dogs show up daily, giving the park a tight-knit feel unusual for a suburban facility. New dogs are welcomed without incident.

Before you go

The small-dog section has more shade cover than the large-dog run. The park is quieter than nearby Piney Wood Park (the broader rec facility); if you drive past the playground, you have gone too far.
