This was a test for my dog, she hasn't really been socialized in the past so I'm doing the best that I can to socialize her I will definitely have to go back. although I only found one garbage can in the park and that was outside the dog park that's where I had to go to put my empty coffee cup.
Nice people and good dogs. A little muddy but a pretty good off leash park.
Our dog made so many friends it was great. Some people however seem to know everything about dogs and want to tell us how our dogs should behave. But overall it's great. Highly recommended
We love taking our dog to this well-used dog park. It runs from dawn to dusk, and almost always has 1 - 5 other dogs to play with.
Some things to be aware of:
- Things can get very muddy
- The ground can be slippery and icy by the entrances
- Most of the dogs at the park are medium or large sized, and are there to run off energy. There is no section for small dogs, and sometimes they get overwhelmed.
- If your dog is small and nervous, you'd be better off going to the small dog park at Burgoyne Woods. Larger dogs are going to want to play with your dog, and owners are not obligated to leave just because your dog is nervous. If you do bring your nervous small dog here, know that picking them up is the worst thing you can do.
- There is a hose and plastic tubs that you can use to wash off your dog in the warmer months.
Dog owners are generally very friendly, and chat while the dogs play.
It's a great park for your pup to run around and be social work other dogs. It would be nicer if it didn't turn into a mud pit any time there was a little moisture (doesn't bother the dogs, just makes clean up a lengthy process)
