55Great dog park. To enter your dog must pass a temperament test which I think is very helpful. There is a small dog and big dog run, a pool area with toys, and an agility area. I loved the variety.
55FYI - This is a membership dog park. My dog loves visiting this park! And as an owner, I feel comfortable knowing all of the other dogs are up to date on vacations and have passed a temperament test. They have multiple areas depending on what your dog needs; water play, large/small dog areas, and an individual play area
