Lower Bottoms Park
About the Park
Lower Bottoms Park is a large, fully-enclosed off-leash area with expansive grassy space, trees, and benches. The park is popular with dogs and owners for exercise and socializing. Grass maintenance is inconsistent with overgrown areas and gopher holes creating hazards. No on-site water or poop bag dispensers are available, and the gate may not secure completely.
