Best for dog owners
The park's main appeal is its large off-leash dog areas separated by size, with shade, water, and seating.
Arrive early for parking
Parking can fill up during busy times, with some reviewers reporting people parking on grass when lots are full.
Watch where you step
Many reviewers report inadequate cleanup of dog waste, describing excessive poop throughout the park despite provided bags.
Avoid the picnic area after dark
The gazebo and main picnic areas are frequently occupied by homeless individuals; stick to the open field and playground instead.
Go for open space activities
The park offers a huge grass field suitable for picnics, sports, and general recreation beyond the dog-focused areas.
