What a great dog park! There's a double gate for safe entry/exit, the park caretakers (a volunteer association) ensure there are lots of poop bags, and there's water.
In addition to bowls and hoses, there are a couple of kiddie pools for cooling off, which is super cute.
The park surface is predominantly gravel, which does get dusty. There is a picnic table (which my puppy immediately learned to climb on top of!), Trash cans, and lots of tennis balls.
Google maps has the walking entrance marked as the driving entrance, so if you're driving, put in the Grist Mill Park and not the dog park. There's lots of parking, but it's a couple of minutes from the entrance to the dog park.
Took my goldendoodle there for the first time today. Will be taking him again! I really liked the trees inside and surrounding the park. Plenty of space for pups to share, tennis balls to chase, poop bags to clean up :)
We have been visting the area and we feel lucky to have such a big dog park so closeby. It was a lot more packed on Fridays and the weekends if you're looking for doggie socialization. There is no separate small dog section like at some other dog parks, but it is big enough so there is a lot of space.
Biggest public dog park around as far as I’m aware! First time here and will be back from the city in much better weather! A little wet and cold at the moment. A great place for dogs to run - 2 blocks long and 1 block wide totally fenced! With all the trees around the Summer Shade would be great during really hot humid days.
Of all the dog parks in this area, this one happens to be my favorite. You are within good company of the dog owners that come to the area regularly and nearly all dogs are socialized well. Patrons are respectful and conscientious of their responsibilities over their pets.
