She is not very playful, and pretty shy/introverted, but the other dogs are usually friendly and we don't really have any issues. I'm kind of annoyed that they're doing construction at Lasalle park now. The barkyard wasn't perfect, it was essentially just a fenced in patch of grass with some benches, a water fountain and a few trees, but that's really all you need. I'm not sure how long it'll be closed for construction, but i hope it turns out well!! They currently have a temporary dog park nearby, but it kinda sucks. Anyways, the barkyard is (was) usually calm, quiet and clean. Grass was moderately maintained and people picked up their dog poop for the most part. I also love that its in the city, where there arent a lot of places for my dog to run around elsewhere. Yeah, 5 stars! Hopefully it opens up again soon!

Visitors really stay on top of their dogs. I didn't see a single pile. Or maybe all the dogs just become like those kids who get too caught up in playing to take a bio break.

Since I don't have a fenced yard, I thought this might be a good exercise outlet. We usually just go for leashed walks down our street. This turned out to be a wonderful social time, as well. A little muddy due to the recent rains. Should be better as the hot summer approaches. Benches to sit, bags to pick up waste, and separate yards for big vs smaller size dogs. Seems most patrons are mindful and look after their dogs and pick up waste. It was quite clean. I think we will bring Poppy here more often!

Harley (my pup) and I really like this dog park…read more The Park There are actually 2 fenced dog parks at Fireman's Park. One for small dogs and one for large dogs. Harley is in between size wise but so we go into the large dog park. (Its much bigger anyways). Both parks are very well kept. There was no garbage anywhere inside, they have a bunch of garbage bins so no one leaves their trash around. The fences are all in good repair so no pups are escaping. The grass both inside and outside the park is kept short which helps prevent ticks an other bugs which is very nice. Amenities There is a large water fountain for the dogs out front of the park so you don't need to worry about water. They also have buckets so you can bring water in. There is a holder for poop bags but it seems to always be empty. The parks also have a ton of benches and tables so you can sit an relax along the walking paths. The Dogs I know this isn't something the park can really control but I have found that the dogs/owners at this park are better behaved and more understanding then at some of the other parks in the area. We have only had one minor conflict between Harley and another dog and the owner was very apologetic and took care of the situation quickly. The only minor blip here is that sometimes people with really small dogs. (5-10lbs) will come into the large dog park and that could spell disaster. Harley and I will definitely be coming back here a lot more.

This is the largest dog park I have been to date. I could see this as being a blessing or curse…read moredepending on how vigilant people are about watching their dog(s). It has a lot of shaded areas, a first for me in the world of dog parks. There was a nice paved walking trail that made a loop, this was great to walk around with the dog to practice off-leash walking and also to have the dog explore other parts of the park. My only real complaint is that the little dog side is for dogs that are 10kg(22lbs) or less and the big dog side is everything else. That could put a pretty small dog on the big side. I think 13-15kg would be a better fit. My dog doesn't care if her play partners are big or small, but it might matter to some. The other dog owners weren't very talkative, which I am not used to. Usually people are super friendly. All in all, I will be back and I did really enjoy the park. I wish we had a similar one by me.

There are separate sections for small dogs and large dogs so the small dogs don't get trampled. The small dog section has a little obstacle course of sorts that reminds me of dog shows. Both sections have a few sitting areas and a basket filled with an assortment of toys. There's a new baseball diamond with covered dug out. The bad: The softball field and old baseball field do not have covered dugouts. The jungle gym is very small. The ugly: I'm not sure how well kept the nature trail is, but the entrance appeared a little over grown. There's some poison ivy in the large dog enclosure so be careful.

We have…read moreparks here, but about once a week, I like to get them out of the house for an extended period of time. So we take the very relaxing hour drive south to Ellicottville, and I bring them to this decently sized dog park. It's located right off the main road into EVL, and shares a parking lot with a fire station. It also shares property with like a soccer field, playground, and maybe a picnic table or two. Pretty area, and plenty to do in EVL. The only reason I give this 3 stars, is because the dog bags (for their poop), are located OUTSIDE the dog park. Maybe this ain't a big deal for some, but for me I have three issues, which might seem silly, but I'll explain either way. 1. I cannot leave my dogs unattended. This may sound graphic, but they will legitimately kill other dogs/animals. They aren't friendly, and they often work as a team. And with both at 80lbs., even "big" dogs, aren't that big when two 80lb-ers team up. I wish they were nice and social. But they aren't. Period. So leaving the park to go get bags, isn't an option for me. 2. (Silly to some) I personally don't want to "pre-game" the bags, and grab some before I enter. I always feel weird, especially if I'm seen doing it. Like I feel like I look like the dude that steals bags from the park because I'm too cheap to buy my own. I know, dumb, but it's just how I feel. 3. (Pet Peeve) I cannot stand the kind of person that uses a public space and their dog poops there, and they don't pick it up. I feel like the bags being outside, especially if the person doesn't realize it or forgets to grab some, is just inviting owners NOT to pick up after their pets. Otherwise, it's a large area with grass and trees surrounded by a fence. It's a dog park.
