Before you go

The natural creek water is untreated, so keep an eye on dogs that drink heavily and bring fresh water for refills. Snow days are reportedly some of the best for big dogs.

Frequently asked

Is there a separate area for small dogs?
Yes, the park has dedicated large- and small-dog enclosures, so little dogs get their own space away from bigger, faster ones.
Can dogs get in the water here?
Yes, a creek-fed water feature runs through the park for dogs to splash through. Note the natural creek water is untreated, so keep an eye on dogs that drink heavily.
Are there hazards to watch for?
Foxtail plants line some of the paths and can lodge in a dog's coat or skin. Keeping dogs on the path rather than in the brush reduces the risk.
Is drinking water provided?
Yes, fountains serve both dogs and humans, and clean water bowls are usually set out.
Does it get too crowded?
It draws a busy regulars crowd, but the layout absorbs peak hours well and rarely feels packed.
