Is Potso Dog Park open year-round?

Yes, though it closes some mornings in fall and winter for maintenance. Regulars use it as the backup when the Gabriel Park summer area shuts for the season.

Is there a separate small-dog area?

Yes, and reviewers describe it as generously sized rather than a token pen.

Is there drinking water?

No fountain. A hose on site handles bowl refills and paw rinses, so packing a bowl or a bottle is worth it.

What helps with muddy paws?

Hoses near the exit let a dog and a pair of boots get rinsed before the drive home, which reviewers single out through the wet months.

What else is inside the fence?

A covered picnic shelter, climbing tires for agility play, benches, trash cans, and poop-bag stations, plus a chip path circling the perimeter.
