About this park

Set within the Land O' Lakes Recreation Complex, this dual-section dog park caters to both small and large dogs, with a hidden boardwalk trail leading to the lake as a bonus post-play reward. The small dog area has more grass and enrichment features, while the large dog side runs predominantly dirt, a common complaint in hot months. Restrooms, water, and dog toys in a communal bin are on-site.

The highlights

Reviewers love the sheer size and the bonus boardwalk trail that leads to the lake (an easy post-play walk most first-timers miss). The small-dog side gets particular praise for its grass, seating, and trick-training obstacles.

The community

A steady suburban mix of families and multi-dog households uses the complex, with small dogs often happy to mingle with bigger breeds through the shared gate. The scene stays low-key rather than clubby, good for owners who prefer to rotate through.

Before you go

Ask a regular about the boardwalk trail to the lake; it's not obvious from the main entrance but makes for a great cool-down walk after playtime. The large dog section can be a dust bowl in dry weather; bring towels.
