Size: large
Quality: high – this park is well maintained in a safe area
Ease of Access: medium – the main parking lot is easy to find and off a main road, BUT there can be LONG lines to get in so plan accordingly. I recommend arriving early in the day, visiting on a weekday, or buying an annual pass to skip the line (only via some entrances).
Notable Features: 2 parking lots, 2 bathrooms, trash, 3 gated entries, fully fenced, benches, water fountain, some shade, 1 river with multiple points of easy access, 1-2 miles of walking paths, popular, amazing scenery, no agility course, allows bikes or other modes of transportation
Cost: $9 for parking, $2 for dog park – you can optionally purchase annual passes for both, $70 and $20 respectively.
Sam’s Field Notes: this is a fun dog park because of the river that runs along its edge. Dogs can easily access the water in most parts with at least 1 section having rocks that dogs can leap off of into the water. It’s fairly flat with a long loop around the edge so it’s a decent amount of exercise as well. There is a horse area on the east edge that the dogs can see, but not get near. There are some very muddy areas with a clay-like mix that can make a mess, but washes off easily. Some parts of the park have a good view of the mountains off in the distance. You can also bring your bike and ride the loop with your dog which is a great way to get even more exercise!
