55We keep coming back because it’s such a great place. Roaming running off leash is the ultimate —the grassed land the peace and quiet — calls us back every time. And the caring host Amanda. Linda F.

55The area was clean. My goldendoodle enjoyed playing in the fully fenced-in yard and relaxing in the shade. He was a very happy boy at the end of his play hour!Babette D.

55Had an AMAZING time! This spot is awesome! Very clean, big space, nice fence, lots of shade spots, tons of toys and water provided. My two heelers were exhausted after playing frisbee and enjoyed relaxing in the shade before we left. The friendly neighbor dog made an appearance on the other side of the fence and my dogs had a great time saying hi and running along the fence for a few minutes during his brief greeting. Had such a great time and will definitely be back! :) Taylor M.

55Wonderful spot!!! It is very large, fencing is secure. The neighbor did walk 2 dogs by very close to fence but I was able to distract and leash my dog until they were out of sight. Toys, bags, and fresh water was provided, my 2 pups were tired out after 30 mins, the shady spots were nice to sit and have a rest!! We had a great time!!Dawn W.

55What a wonderful spot! We’ve visited three times in less than a month. My dogs love it and it is nice and peaceful for me. The yard is very well-maintained and the grass is kept short. Sure does book up quickly so you better reserve early!Michael C.

55I love this spot!! Not a whole lot of shade for hot days, so I like to take my dogs earlier in the day when it’s cooler. They always have a blast!!! :) Taylor M.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
