An annual permit costing between $70 and $100 is required to use this large fenced off-leash area, and park rangers actively check for them. Wooded trails and grassy patches give dogs plenty of varied terrain to explore, and a shared children's playground sits nearby. Muddy conditions are a known issue after rain, so waterproof boots aren't a bad call. Waste bags and trash cans are provided, and a parking lot is available on site.
