About the Park
This fenced off-leash park has a paved and pebble surface with a doggy pool, water fountain, and benches. Most visitors praise the clean space and friendly, responsible dog owners who foster strong socialization opportunities. However, some aggressive dog incidents and occasional poor owner behavior have been reported, and shade coverage is limited with the water fountain not always operational.
