I frequent this dog park about 3x a week. It's usually busiest around the late afternoon on…read moreweekdays, so there's opportunity for a lot of dog socialization. They have a small dog side and big dog side, but if you bring your big dog/puppy to the small dogs side, most people are usually okay with that as long as it's not too aggressive in its play.
Both sides have pretty big areas so they have room to run, run, run. And bring that's it's a public park as well, it's all natural, with grass, dirt, and even gophers.
Not much in shade; there's a couple of trees on each side. A couple of tables and benches, too, but that's it.
Water stations on each side are good. Both sides have little dog obstacles/ramps for them to exercise on. Overall, it's a really good dog park, and the size is one of the biggest, if not the biggest dog park, in the county.
