5 stars yes but almost gotten mauled by an aggressive dog the person going in ames nowel park had the dog on the leash but I'm guessing that was to make it LQQK good because further in the dog wasn't on the leash if your dog is aggressive you should at have the the dog have the dog on a leash as you had going in that park it's not the dogs fault it's the owners fault and responsibility if something happens just because you wanted that area for yourself you should not have unleashed your dog as I was on the opposite side I noticed the dog was attempting to come across the rocks of the dry brook the dog is obviously aggressive think about it luckily nothing happend because I had to leave that area because the person had no Intent to do anything about the dog or even put the dog on the leash just stare and quietly muttered stop come here the dog had no attention as to what you was softly muttering as you had the dog on the leash going in 7/27/2024 I love animals but if an animal is aggressive be abresponibke person and think of your pet and and others around not your selfish self your far from responsible dog owner very unfair to your dog and others...
