Love this place so much the Doris Day dog park here is where we as a family spend alot of our time! The owners of other dogs we all get together as a dog community and we sit and talk while our dogs play and have fun the dogs are friendly the owners are friendly it's like a dog family community up there. As the owners we talk about more than just the dogs it's cool relaxing and a wonderful place to be. If your stressed out even 8f you dont own a dog come on up there everyone is welcome to enjoy the experience it's a great one and surely one you wont regret lol. Myself and my husband bring my Kong boy up here at least 4 times a week. It's the best place for them to engage and learn social skills and create good temperament with your pet! There are trails there as well for you and your dog to go on and explore. Plenty of parking space for everyone. Clean free environment. Always welcome to bring extra krogers bags or just bags for bathroom breaks for our pets that way we keep everything smooth no one is stepping in our animal's bathroom breaks lol Come on up very fun loving place to be!

Google maps will work in a pinch and no matter the direction you take you can always go uphill from any trail to the park roads to exit more quickly. Trails basically follow all park roads in a hand configuration. There are no large "you are here" signs you would expect to find at any major park with trails.
