Very beautiful large dog park in a natural park like setting with grass and trees. One of the largest and most lovely parks we’ve ever been to in the US. Great idea but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. For example, there aren’t any lights in the park or parking lot so you’re pretty much out of luck if it’s dark. Main dog park is for big dogs(or small if you dare) and it is huge! It has some little ponds, tons of trees, grass, hills and land for dogs to run. The ‘little dog’ park is on the left when you come in the main gates however when you come in there are big dogs and little dogs all in one place which can lead to some not so good interactions and dangerous situations. There has been a few times when my dog has been nearly attacked right there at the entrance. Wish there was a ‘little dog’ park only door. Once you get into the main park right to the left there is a fenced ‘small dog’ park which has tons of space to run, grass and trees. On days when the ground is wet it’s very muddy at the park. Be forewarned. Your dog will get dirty. The main thing that is upsetting to me as a small dog owner is that there are many big dogs who come into the small dog section. I’ve heard many of the owners say they don’t want their big dogs swimming in the water and getting muddy/dirty/smelly. I can totally understand this however there are many small dogs that are often attacked by large dogs and this is very dangerous. Wish they provided official doggie poo bags but it seems like people have brought their old grocery store plastic sacks which can get the job done just not as effectively. Parking can be a challenge at times as the parking lot gets totally full on peak times or nice days. Sometimes I’ve been known to drive around and around waiting for someone to leave to take their spot. There aren’t any water fountains for dogs to drink from so that would be nice as well. Outdoor restroom facilities for humans would be awesome but beggars can’t be choosers. Overall a nice dog park but I think it needs another fenced off area for big dogs so the owners don’t have to have their dogs get so dirty in the water. This would also help prevent dangerous situations.
