Behind the park is a beautiful waterfall. The photographer was able to use 6 different backgrounds, including the waterfall. Other couples were taking pictures there as well but when we first came it was just two. When we left it was about 7. Plenty of space though that everyone was still able to get great shots. It's on a very busy corner but faces Kings Dr. Free parking in the metropolitan garage, easy walk regardless of the construction that gets in the way. Across the street there's parking but also towing signs. Lots of people were taking a chance though. Caddy corner from the park is a shopping plaza with a few restaurants, stores etc. After we finished with the pictures I enjoyed shopping in Marshalls in the garage.

It's a very small park and it's mostly an open grassy area with minimal trees/shade. Luckily, there are some trees that provide shade around the perimeter of the park and there's small tables set up with chairs. This park was a little crowded for my normal preferences, but we were able to get a table closer to the greenway which was further away from most people who were along the Kings Drive section of the park. The best time to visit this park is for the Kings Drive Art Walk in the spring.

McAlpine Creek Park has long been one of my favorite places to bring my small dog and meet up with…read morefriends who also have small dogs. The park itself is beautiful, and the small dog area has been a valuable resource for the community. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have raised serious concerns about safety and irresponsible pet owners. On multiple occasions, people have brought large dogs into the small dog area despite the posted size limits and have refused to leave when concerns were raised. There have also been situations where dogs were clearly out of control, frightening other dogs and upsetting both pets and their owners, while the owners did little or nothing to intervene. What is especially frustrating is that these situations are often met with hostility. Rather than acknowledging that their dog may be too large for the area or behaving inappropriately, some owners become argumentative and confrontational. Today, when I arrived, there was already tension from an earlier incident that I did not witness, with people yelling at each other. One of the more bizarre and disturbing experiences involved a grown woman standing outside the entrance shouting obscenities, barking, and yelling at the dogs through the fence before entering the park. Her behavior was so erratic that another visitor stepped in because she said she was concerned the woman might kick one of the dogs. It is bizarre and difficult to believe that these kinds of incidents continue to happen at a dog park. Most people are there simply to enjoy time with their pets, and if visitors behaved respectfully and managed their animals appropriately, many of these conflicts could be avoided. The vast majority of visitors just want a safe and enjoyable place for their dogs to play. However, the lack of enforcement and responsible ownership has become a serious issue, and after several negative experiences in a short period of time, I no longer feel as safe here as I once did. I hope greater attention is given to enforcing the rules and keeping the small dog area welcoming for everyone.
