Before you go
Parts stay muddy for days after rain; give it time to dry before visiting with a dog that hates getting hosed off. The small-dog side is often empty, which makes it a workable reactive-dog option during quiet windows.
Frequently asked
- Does the water fountain work?
- Yes. Unlike many parks in the region, the shared fountain here serves both people and dogs and reviewers report it working reliably. Older visits noted it out of order, so pack a backup bowl just in case.
- Is there a separate small-dog area?
- Yes. The park has separate large-dog and small-dog yards with a double-gate entry. The small side is often empty, which makes it a workable choice for a reactive dog during quiet windows.
- Does it get muddy after rain?
- Yes. Parts stay muddy for days after rain, so give it time to dry before visiting with a dog that hates being hosed off.
- Is it usually crowded?
- No. Traffic runs low, often just two or three dogs on site, which suits owners who want space without a big crowd.
- How is parking?
- There is a lot with a short walk to the fenced yard, and the park sits about five minutes from the highway.
