There was some up and down, but nothing too difficult. Both trails were mostly clearly marked. Near the end of Loop B the markings became less frequent, and at the junction of the two trails it was unclear which way to go. Other than that it was great. There is an interesting small cemetery. The trails cross small brooks in several places, with secure bridge crossings. I might choose to do just one of the loops next time, if I can figure out how to skip one of them. It was a pleasant couple of hours.

The hiking trails are also well maintained without over-clearing the natural wilderness of the woods.

There is also a concrete trail within the park in which you can walk on when playing with your dog, so you don't have to stay on your toes at all times wondering if you are going to step in any dog poo. Overall, it's a great park to bring your dog if they don't get along to well with others too well, or if this is your new companions first time at a dog park.

It has a very nice double gated concrete entry area that lets you into either the big or the small dog park. There is a nice shelter as well as quite a few shade structures with benches underneath them evenly spaced around the park. Some of the support posts have lights on them so it may be lit at night. They have multiple poop bag dispensers as well as trash bins and they even have a very nice water faucet!

I have to say, this is one of the nicest, in part because there is such an active community of dog lovers invested in making and keeping this an outstanding site for doggy adventures. The site has fenced areas for small and large dogs, both of which have grass (a rarity in the Bay Area). The large dog side recently had new sod placed after the grass had been decimated by a year of four pawed madness; unfortunately it did not take particularly well, but it is certainly better than a dust bowl. There are several trees offering plenty of shade on those sweltering summer days with fireflys dancing around the grounds on warm summer nights keeping the human and canine patrons entertained alike. It is generally very well attended, particularly in the evening and on weekends of the spring and summer months. Of course, only the hardcore enthusiasts partake on those cold winter days. There is also plenty of seating for those that are weary after chasing their canine companion, who refuses to leave its favorite location, around the park. The only down sides from my perspective are: 1) One will regularly run across unclaimed piles of dog excrement , probably because the park is large and on a hill which can make keeping a track of a dog challenging. 2) When the grass dies (and I'm sure it will again) the dust and mud (when raining) become problematic. 3) There is a silly fake fire hydrant that only serves to butcher playing dogs as they careen into the object while gallivanting around the park. All around it is one of the best dog parks I have attended, and the number is considerable.

The main feature here is the baseball field that has been completely fenced in and converted into the running space for the large dogs. Shaded in places but with a ton of space for canines to run around. Two separate runs for smaller dogs. What's neat is that each of the dog parks has a separate entrance and exit lobby for safety to ensure that dogs are leashed and secure before leaving the park. Absolutely awesome. The parks have a foot-pump fountain too. This is the neatest park! [Review 15411 overall, 914 of 2021, number 2961 in North Carolina.]
