Awful place! The…read moreowner, Wayne, approached us (my husband, myself, + our two dogs) for our "temperament test" (meet + greet) with his own two dogs OFF LEASH! I could not believe that someone who works with dogs would do that! He took one look at our boys + said NO, we were not welcome. Our dogs are mixed breed, + one of those breeds is pit bull. We told him that our boys are super sweet, not aggressive at all, + he told us that we don't understand pit bulls. I understand that there are aggressive pit bulls in the world; however, ANY dog can be aggressive under the right circumstances. Nowhere on the website does it list which breeds are not allowed, so we didn't know. Huge waste of everyone's time + energy. Overall, Wayne was very rude + unprofessional. Definitely would not pay the exorbitant prices of a membership here - IF your dogs are even accepted into the park!

You need proof of rabies vaccination to get the dog tag and gate code from city hall. They also request a picture. There is a pool that you can drain out (the old water goes into the creek behind the park) and refill with clean water if you wish. It's shallow enough for most dogs to wade in. You'll often see dogs just laying in the water on warm days. My puppy just discovered the miracle that is water, and loves splashing around in the pool. Since I didn't think she would go in the water the first time at the park, I wasn't prepared and didn't bring a towel. Now I always keep one in my car! There are some strict rules for the park: no dog food/treats, no leashes, no digging, etc. All of which keeps this place well kept and pristine.

Today, I decided to take Baxter on an adventure and we explored the park and then popped into the fenced in dog park so that he could play with a few other dogs. It was not too busy which was nice. There is a larger area for the big dogs and a smaller fenced area for the little ones. Of course, Baxter was the only small dog, so we decided to let him run around in the bigger park with the larger dogs. He did fine and the other dogs were friendly and didn't bother him at all. Most of the dogs were just wandering around the park and exploring. It's honestly such a huge space for the dogs to run! They have a few benches throughout the park and a shaded area to sit as well. There are a few waste areas with baggies so that you can clean up after your dog. Of course, it's not a monitored park, so it's fair to say that not everyone picks up after their dogs, so be careful not to step on the "piles". They also had a fountain right outside of the fenced area for dogs to get some water. I'd recommend bringing your own bowl and cold water for your dog just in case the fountain isn't working or had warm water during the hotter days. Overall, I really am glad this space is available for the dogs and I know I'll be back again soon! Since it's a free park, I'd recommend donating to the park if you have the means to so that it can stay open and kept up.

Members can check-in in advance and then they recognize your dogs picture and let you in. The apps a little clunky, obviously there's gonna be some growing pains but that upgrade alone has made my experience significantly better and my dog happier.
