Very nice park, stuff for all types of people. I took my kids the playground very cool, good for climbers. Wish it had better bathrooms. Just a port-a-jon.

Love to bring my dogs to this dog park! Its free and is huge! They have a small dog and large dog section Usually everyone that comes is super nice and we all get along But, people who dont know anything about dogs, please educate yourself before bringing your unruly or aggressive dogs. You have to have enough control over your dog in order to stop fights or make sure your dog doesnt pick on other dogs. Also, people need to realize that dogs will dominate each other or put the other dogs in their place, its natural behavior, the owner needs to be able to tell their dog when it is enough or be able to make the decision to leave when their dog is getting annoyed by other dogs or is annoying other dogs.

The dog park is well made and seems kept up well. There is no membership to visit like many dog parks have. There are bowls provided but the water is usually shut off because... im not sure why providing water to dogs is impacted by covid. Most people bring a bottle of water along to fill the public bowls. There is a Facebook group that seems used only for saying when the park opens and closes for the season. On the 4th time I visited I had a very negative interaction with another person there that frankly Im not sure I want to come back again.

This skatepark was poorly designed. Cracks are huge. The bowls blow.

It was a fun park! For ages 5-12 (although my 4yo was fine) and fun enough that my husband and I played too. Its cool how all of the equipment is connected and the general look of the park. Good times! The parking lot connects to the skate park and dog park at the other end. There is also a baseball field.

I just go there to park and read or walk. But there is a dog park and little league fields.If you like or use those, your ratings may be worth more s.P. S. There may be a concession stand while games are being played. (Im pretty sure there is. )

Super nice, well-appointed dog park. People are always nice (on the small dog side, anyhow). Its mazing that its the nicest dog park around, but also free! Amenities include human/ dog water fountains, double entry gates, covered seating, and a rinse off station by the parking lot. Ironic name, awesome park.

We had fun even though there was a big dog in the little dog area so we took our little dog into the big dog area. There was a couple UN neutered males that were starting to get a little grumpy with each other and it scared me so we left. Otherwise it was fun. Im just a nervous mommy in didnt feel like my little baby was safe

Nice park but they need to put down mulch or bark as it was a mud pit. Almost fell a couple times because of the mud.

Review №21

I would tell you about the park but it rained the day before so its be biased. Its definitely a nice place to go and take your children to, as well as have a party there with the nice big enclosed area. There is also two baseball fields next to it so you could play many games outside of the park.

Wonderful outdoor off leash dog park. That offers both a large dog area and separate area for smaller dogs to play.

Review №36

Love the dog park! Even though it’s separated from small and big dogs, the small dogs have lots of room to run and play. Only downside is that people don’t always pick up after their dog which is annoying. Other than that, people are very friendly and such a fun place to take your pup.

We love Katz Park. Have been bringing our dogs here for the past year. The dog park facility is fairly well equipped and in good shape. Waste bags, Spare balls, water dishes, picnic tables. water fountain in the warmer weather.The other dog owners and dogs are pretty good with another.If you are thinking of bringing your dog to the dog park for the first time: dont recommend keeping your pup on the leash for too long. Have noticed that the dogs on the leash get more defensive. The dogs do wrestle with another at this dog park btw. Fairly normal playing action. Warning because it can be unnerving at first.Come prepared for the wind. They dont have a wind break. Can get chilly.

Large dog park with separate sections for large and small dogs. Picnic table under canopies for owners to congregate while their does play. Ample water dishes and fountain. Separate fenced in dog wash area for rinsing of muddy paws ( or worse). Generally a friendly group of people.

Have herd only bad things here but Ive gone 4 times now and had good experiences. I guess it depends on your dog if he is friendly enough to go play. Please be smart about the safety of other animals.

Love that there is a dog park toward the end of the parking lot! Also, I appreciate that theres one park for smaller dogs, 20lbs and under, and one for bigger dogs. I found that prime interaction time in the evening is about 4:30pm-6:00pm where there are a lot of dogs in both areas. However, if your dog is uneasy around other dogs but want to run around; I recommend going in the early AMs.

Somewhat lackluster park. But it has the basics including a cleaning station for muddy paws.This could place use some more trees, mulch paths, and ideally a small playground area.

The only thing that would make this better would be some swings, but I think it is a safety thing being that close to the ball diamonds. My boys loved it though, its very sturdy with lots to climb on!

Review №63

Skate park used to be fun until they put in a 3 acre dog park literally up against it. Now, the entire time your there, you a have to listen to dogs freaking out at you. Poor planning. Could have used the softball diamond in the far left corner instead of the one they used.

My Service Dog was horribly attacked by a huge dog at this park. She is now having to go through retraining. I was told by others that this dog does this all the time yet nobody turns him in. I will never go to this park again.
