You are definitely barking up the right tree if you bring your furry friends to this dog park!!…read moreIt's super "pup"ular place for dog lovers! Today it was packed! I have a Goldendoodle Grand-puppy, Hampton, who loves romping around this grassy enclosed park. For safety and convenience, they have two separate fenced sections, one for big dogs and one for small dogs. Be sure to take note of the posted rules. There's a water station to refresh your pets after they are done frolicking and socializing with their playmates! Today there was a dog festival and people with their pooches came from all over town! There were several tables set up selling dog treats, handmade dog toys, t-shirts, baked goods and more. This, of course, made the barking lot crowded! They could definitely expand the parking! In the summer, pools are filled so your pups can cool off with a swim. For pooch lovers, this is a hound haven... but for me it was a bit too mutt-ch. I did, however, run into several friends who had their loyal canines with them so I had fun being the pup-arazzi! The rest of the park was full of families enjoying the other amenities at this park like the playground and picnic areas. The facilities were well maintained. Tails are wagging at this paw-some dog park where "man's" best friend can raise the woof! If your nose isn't used to doggie smells, it may be a little ruff! By the way, if you get directions from Yelp, it may lead you to a dead end near a gas station. Just stay on Pump Road and it's just by Broad St.

My dog was a member at Ruff for several months and enjoyed his experience. Last summer, a dog…read morestarted to bully him and would not leave him alone. I separated the dogs but the owner of the offending dog was extremely rude. My dog is playful and not aggressive and I watched this other dog instigate and bully my dog. I watched this dog get into fights with several other dogs as well. We cancelled our memberships and did not go back until this month. Within 5 minutes of being there, the same dog that had tried to fight my dog last time came up to my dog and was trying to fight with him. I ran over and snatched my dog away and the instigating dog set his eyes on another victim. I appreciate the referees at Ruff as they came over to make sure that he was OK. The manager, however, was not helpful at all and said that there was nothing that they could do. We were there for less than 5 minutes. At the very least the manager could have refunded our day pass as my dog clearly did not get to enjoy the park. The park is a great concept but management needs to step in when dogs are consistent offenders. It is not fair to all of the other dogs that play nicely to have a bully ruin it for everyone else. We will not be returning.

I attended on the sweltering hot Saturday, and I would've loved more shade as I almost passed out around midday. The park itself is expansive with plenty of areas for parking. It seemed to be well-kept and had on-site facilities. I could see why this would be a good event venue. Just wish we could control the weather! I'd go back for future events.

Coming from Colorado Springs where dog parks are sprawling acres with creeks and multiple terrains,…read morethis was a sad substitute. It is very small, it seems nobody picks up after their dog, and there is no water access so remember to bring some! We have a 9 month old mastiff and she needs room to run and romp with dogs her size. There is no designated small dog/big dog area (not that the limited space provided would allot for that). The only reason it gets 3 stars is for the simple fact that it was fenced and nearly empty when we stopped by. It works if you need something quick.

Unfortunately I remember the azaleas very differently as a child as many others do as well.

That being said PSA to owners.. stop picking your dogs up and sheltering them, you are only making them a target to all other dogs. This doesn't defuse the situation, only make things a lot worse.

Still, the owner shows up every day with her two elderly dogs that seem to gain no enjoyment from the park although the rules clearly state that aggressive dogs aren't allowed. She does have a shock collar for Willie, but is always too busy socializing to pay attention to her dog, and in my opinion, if you need that type of device to keep your dog in line, maybe the dog park is t the best place for it. Anyway, I've mostly given up on bringing my dog here because people are continually bringing aggressive dogs here against the rules. Buncha jerks.
