Dawn to Dusk

  • Leash
  • Flat collar
  • Poop bags (poop bags supplied at park)
  • Water bowl (water supplied seasonally)

This park is a safe space for owners to play with their dogs off their leash. Handlers must be mature and physically capable of controlling their dogs. The park is not a safe place for anyone who is unsteady on their feet as the ground is uneven and dogs don’t always watch where they are going. Similarly, this park is not an appropriate space for young children because they can easily be knocked down. In addition, not all dogs have been well socialized around children. Refrain from cellphone use (calls or texting) inside the park. Your attention is required to be on your dog(s).

Dog parks are appropriate for dogs with good play skills that enjoy playing with a large number of dogs and a lot of different breeds (different breeds can have very different play styles). If your dog has rough play skills or is shy/under socialized see a professional trainer for better options.  Many training facilities offer supervised play groups and can help you improve your dog’s social skills.

"This park is on our rotational list of stops depending where we are in location. Large fenced in, off leash areas, specified sides for big and small dogs. Poop bags available on the fences. One con is it does get a big muddy, drainage could use some help as seen in the photos but if it's been dry a couple days outside, it clears up pretty okay. Hose available to use if needed. Also open all year round if you need an outlet for your dog and are willing to be out in the cold."

“I love it here! Manny and I come about once a week. I love the crowd of regulars. I have an older dog of 8 and he has so much fun. Everyone is nice and understanding and the dogs are great. Evenings 5:30-7:00 are the "busy" times, so go make some puppy friends!”

“What a wonderful park! They have the nicest volunteers that manage the park! We learned that the park is maintained on donations, including returnable bottles and cans (leave by door nearest kiosk) and Dash's register receipts (leave in box on kiosk).”
