James Hunter Park
About the Park
James Hunter Park is a large off-leash area with sandy ground, seating, and a wading pool for dogs. Visitors report many friendly dogs and owners, with ample space for dogs to socialize and run. However, the park consistently struggles with strong urine odor, poor drainage after rain, sand sticking to fur, recurring water feature availability issues, and limited waste bag dispensers.
