The dog park is dedicated to fun and activities with your dog. Dogs may run off-leash, under voice control, within the confines of the fenced area. If you are uncomfortable in the presence of unleashed dogs, you may wish to use other areas of the park. To ensure your safety and enjoyment, extensive research went into planning the dog park. Please take the time to read all the rules because we want you and your pet to have the best and safest visit possible. Enjoy!
