55What a wonderful spot to bring your fur baby!! The yard is so clean and beautiful; and a water-filled bowl, toys, bubbles, and dry towel were left out for us (along with a little pool and hose, for warmer weather). The fence is wooden and at least 6’ tall, so no worries about escapes. Our sweet little shelter dog we brought had the best time, getting the zoomies, sniffing the flowers, playing with her toys, and getting belly rubs! I’ll definitely be back again!!Carolyn G.

55Beth messaged me to let me know it might be muddy due to the weather, and boy are we happy she did! Bax always loves his time here and he earned a well deserved bath after our visit! Thanks for leaving a towel out, we needed it!! Beautiful new fence.

55Beautiful yard, with lots of shade and sunny spots. Accommodations for humans are great too. The grass is gorgeous and short. My dogs enjoyed laying on it. It has small flower gardens and my pups enjoyed sniffing around them.
Loved it. Recommend it, and your dogs would very happy to enjoy it. priscila w.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. 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.
