55This is the best summer spot to take your dog! There’s plenty of space for your dog to explore or for them to play fetch. The pound is the perfect thing to keep the pups cool in the summer heat. I highly recommend this amazing spot!!!Megan J.

55This was our 4th visit to Taylor Pond. We really like bringing our two dogs there. There is some shade to keep cool, lots of sniffs for the pups, and they have towels, water and toys available. Our dogs don't swim, but they love running back and forth along the pond and then just sniffing around. We'll be back!Heather S.

55There is so much to explore here and the setup is great! A chair, hose, water bowl, toys, all setup right next to where you park your car. My pup could’ve spent forever out in this area. And the property owners are super nice and welcoming!Amy D.

55This spot is amazing! My dogs had a blast. David provided water to rinse them off after a fun swim in the pond and towels to dry them. Also, I am in a wheelchair and struggle to find places I can take my dog for off leash play. This property allowed me to easily get around the pond and I was able to go everywhere the pups went. I am so glad we have found this place. We will definitely be back. Tara A.

55Awesome spot! My pup loved running laps around the pond, and then went for a little swim before leaving. Everything you could need is there upon arrival. Super quiet too!Christie N.

55Visited Taylor Pond in the morning for a change and had a great time as usual! It was already warm outside, so Molly jumped in the pond a few times. Well, that might be because there were also plenty of duck friends for her to chase as well! Kim U.

55So much fun for my pup! I loved seeing her loving the water 😍😍 Clean and lots of seating! Be careful if your dog has no fear. My dog ran towards the ducks and quickly found out she can’t swim nearly as well! 😋Amanda W.

55My girl had a great time. The pond is larger than i thought so we both got good exercise. Lots of sniffies - she lost her mind over all the wildlife scents. And after she unexpectedly took a dip, there was a hose there to rinse her down, and towels. Sue M.

55We had a great 2 hr play time. We ended up “donating” a green fabric frisbee to the pond as my girls were more interested in the geese 😂. This space is so nice. Lots of shade and seats all around the water. As expected, the water was a bit smelly because it’s a pond and geese live there. So I was very excited to see a hose and very user friendly spray attachment to wash the girls off before heading home. So make sure to bring their shampoo with you so you don’t have to bathe them twice 😂 Overall, very happy that this little gem is so close to us. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back :)Tiffany N.

55Second visit, we even had a rainbow. My dog is a hunter. She saw a bunny and managed to squeeze under the chain link fence to pursue it. I called her back and squished her back under. I don't think a normal dog will do this. There is no hole in the fence, so nothing to repair. My dog is just very determined when seeking prey. She's only 30 lbs and quite sneaky. The property is a doggy wonderland. Sue M.
