Part of a larger park along the river with hiking trails nearby, this off-leash area has a blacktop surface and water features for dogs to cool off. The fenced space is on the smaller side, and there are no waste bags, benches, or shade to speak of. It works well as a quick off-leash stop for the surrounding neighborhood.
