About this park

A small but split-by-size dog park at the south end of the broader Lions Park, with sand footing on the big-dog side and an artificial turf and woodchip mix on the small-dog side. The faucet runs reliably, and shade trees ring the perimeter for the human seating. Quiet on weekday afternoons, and the right scale for a quick post-work stop.

The highlights

The split-by-size design earns the most consistent praise. Small-dog owners feel safer here than at the larger unsplit parks. Pavilion seating, mural-ceilinged picnic shelter, and the kids' playground at the other end make it work as a multi-purpose stop.

The community

A neighborhood-paced crowd, often quiet weekday afternoons. Reviews describe friendly people and a low-drama dog mix.

💡

Before you go

The big-dog side is mostly dirt and sand, so expect mud after rain or spring melt. Bag dispensers inside the fence have been spotty per reviews; bring your own.
