This dog park is fully fenced-off, with separate sections for larger and smaller dogs, as well as benches and chairs in each section so that owners can socialize too. Since this park has a natural grass surface, it can get quite muddy at times, so you may want to bring a towel for afterwards, as well as some drinking water and a few doggie bags.
