We have been going to this park with our dog for a long time now but more than recently we won't come here again. As our dog struggles with recall and I do not trust the people, they do not close the gates properly or look behind to see our dog trying to sneak through before we can run up and grab her. Today someone again opened the gate without checking around and our dog quickly sneaked by into the river off leash area .. ( which is not fenced by the way) if your dog is an escape artist like ours and is focusing on hunting bunnies and trying to roam then this park is not safe for your dog. Ours had escaped due to people not closing the gates or looking around and being aware and the moment our dog sneaked out into the river side area she knew her way out because it is NOT gated all around!!

Anyways I advise people : please close the gates..: fully with chains so dogs cannot escape ( ones with poor recall) and also please look around and make sure you're not putting other dogs at risk of escaping and wait for us to run up and grab our dog.

Not all dogs are recall trained. Ours is a rescue from Iran.we have trained her a few times with a trainer and it's a progress still.

But for our own peace of mind we are never taking her here again.

Due to the un fenced river side ... and not being able to trust people closing the gates and watching out for our dog trying to sneak by when they open the gate unaware.

Be aware and cautious for the safety...
