That being said this place is a business and not a standard "dog park" like I thought it was. But Shannon (owner) was very understanding and went above and beyond all my expectations of a paid for dog experience. I have traveled coast to coast with my dog and never have come across a better experience with my dog. Yes you do pay a small entry fee but with the equipment/toys she has makes it worth every penny. I wish there was something like this close to my house. Highly recommend.

They were running after each other on both sides of the fence. Great, but the one in the big dog area still had his leash on and not sure why. The mom or woman told the kids that was there that there was someone (me) coming in to the big dog area. He looked up then went back to looking down at his phone. When I left he went to get the dog and took him over to the smaller dog area but the dog kept running from him for several minutes. Dog parks are not to let your dog run wild without watching them and especially not cool when they do their business and you don't pick up after them. No trees but the did have benches to sit on.

It's certainly off the beaten path and during our time here only saw three other people and only one other dog. And they were pretty far away. The beach is a little unusual if you're not from the area and is made of this very small (most pieces were 1/16th to 1/4 inch) smooth rocks. It was really nice to walk on. Right along the waterline are very jagged rocks that look pretty hard to walk on, so it's probably not the best beach to plan on going for a swim. Besides the water is cold. There's plenty of driftwood and larger rocks to check out. The path from the park is a little steep and it could be a little slick when it gets wet. The walk up and down the hill is worth it. If you don't feel like taking your dog down to the beach there's also a large fenced in dog park on the other side of the parking lot. It's pretty bad, but we didn't see this at first because we thought the beach was so cool. We saw more people and dogs in the enclosed dog area than we did on the beach. If we're in the area again we'd definitely go back.

The park has two main entrances, although park trails may be reached from surrounding neighborhoods. The main park entrances are on the north end of Ackerman Street, and on Hull Street off Newmark near Southwestern Oregon Community College and the Walmart. No motor boats are permitted on the lakes so you don't have to listen to roaring engines. However, there is a launch for canoes, kayaks and other non-motorized boats. The City says there are over 5 miles of incredibly well-marked asphalt-paved pedestrian and cycling trails. Watch out for the tree roots though. The Empire Lakes are home to a variety of fish (Bass, Blugill, Perch, Catfish), waterfowl and other birds. On a recent walk we saw: Mallards Double-crested Cormorants Osprey Turkey Vultures Western/Glaucous-winged Gulls Rufous/Allen's Hummingbirds Steller's Jays American Crows Common Ravens Violet-green Swallows Barn Swallows Bushtits (a nesting pair) American Robins Song Sparrows Dark-eyed Juncos (Oregon type) Black Phoebes Common Starlings Facilities are pretty basic, but then there is no use fee either. *** Park history (from bayareablaster.com): Originally known as Empire Lakes Park, John Topits - a former Coos Bay city councilman - proposed building the park back in 1977. John's enthusiasm and guidance were instrumental in making the place it is today. For over 20 years (beginning in 1977), John (and many other volunteers) spent countless hours upgrading, cleaning and maintaining the trails. The local National Guard Unit also donated over 2,500 hours of time in making improvements. This was truly a community effort and it fulfilled a special dream for John Topits. The Topits Family has preserved John Topits's scrapbook. It is available on the bayareablaster.com website.
