This lovely neighborhood in the nearby town of Worthington is home to Godown Park, a 10 acre space made with pups in mind. Inside is the Dog Park at Godown Park, which includes a fenced in acre for small pups, and another fenced in 4.5-acre park for the biggies. The terrain is mainly dirt and wood chips with some grass for optimal rolling. The park provides clean-up bags, a water fountain, and a rinse station if you pup gets a little dirty. There are plenty of trees to provide shade for you and your pup, but the park does ask that your pet is either spayed or neutered before they can be allowed into the park.
