55Such a beautiful spot! Nice big open fields. Although not full fenced in its large enough to not really notice. Although I wouldn't quickly recommend it for dogs that are "runners" if you have good recall it shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait to see this spot through the different seasons. I'd recommend somewhere to leave poop bags though! We'll be back! Hayley B.

55Great spot! Huge field my dog loved exploring and running around. Not fully fenced but not an issue as the space is so big. We’ll be back again. Brenda W.

55Great spot! Huge open spaces for my pup to run and play. We stuck to the edges of the various fields and forged our own path at times. Loved it. We will definitely be back. Stephanie J.

55Great spot! So much space! The lack of fencing should not be an issue for most dogs. Perfect spot if your dog loves to chase a ball. Will be back!Katie A.

55We had an awesome visit at this park ! It is very big and we got to have lots of off leash time. If your dog is not reliable, a long leash will be awesome as this spot provides lots of space and smells. This spot is full of burrs, I am unsure about visits during summer and fall as they are pretty intense in some areas.Maëva L.

55At first I was not sure about the spot being there is no secure fencing, however for me there were enough natural barriers and older fencing to feel comfortable. This spot is full of natural enrichment for dogs- no frills but my dog loved running through the fields and puddles. There is a little flattened pathway al the way to the hydro lines. I didn’t go beyond that because I couldnt see a trail through the bush. Parking is easy to find and everything is as is described. Thanks for hosting! Mary H.

55Updating my review as the spot has a few differences when it’s spring:
There is much more grass now- it’s long so ticks may be a concern.
Not really groomed so wear appropriate clothing.
The water / creek is still there but the grass is growing over it- be careful as the water can still be a bit deeper than it looks.
There are a lot of bugs when I went, should bring bug spray.
Saw a couple of wild turkeys as we entered, they flew off as soon as they heard my voice.
I still love the spot as it provides a lot of natural enrichment for dogs, but these are a few things to keep in mind. Mary H.

55I recently visited this space my furry girl, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this spot was designed with both dogs and their owners in mind. The signage made it easy to find, and the availability of poop bags and waste bins showed a thoughtful attention to detail.
But what truly sets this spot apart is the abundance of exploration opportunities for dogs and humans alike. With plenty of space to roam and discover, my dog was in heaven, and I enjoyed watching her sniff and explore to her heart's content.
We'll definitely be back soon!Lindsay L.

55Tons of space for the dogs to explore. Could have spent longer than an hour here for sure. Fallen branches for fetch and a chew were a hit. Would visit throughout the year. Thank youuTaylor A.

55We had a great experience at Bridget’s property. We enjoyed the walking trail and fields, and can’t wait to check out the pond in the summer! Everything is very far away from the road so not having a fence was not an issue. Samantha P.

55This is such a great spot! So much space for my pup to run, play fetch, and of course, smell all the smells! We started off in the first field to the right of the main trail, then walked the lovely main trail to the back fields for more exploring.
There's a garbage bin at the parking lot (and poop bags!) and another at the end of the main trail. Appreciated the signage with directions as well.
We will definitely be back, and we'll book a longer stay. This is a beautiful property, and Bridget is such a thoughtful host. Stephanie J.

55March 4th - Sun was shining so the ground is muddy. Lots of fields to run in without mud even if it was wet. Be sure to bring towels. This is a lovely spot for runners. Huge open fields mixed with some paths would make it fun to bring a chuck-it. My three dogs loved it. Out-house and fire pit were in a gorgeous spot. I do don’t even make it to the pond on this visit! We will be back. Linda S.

If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
