Eagle Point Park — Attraction in Clinton

I did not get to explore the park itself, though what I drove through was gorgeous. My agenda was to find the fenced in dog park. Their dog park is by far the best one I have been to. My dogs would agree. You can buy a year pass for only $35. Otherwise they offer day passes. It is an honor system in which they request $4 for one dog and an additional $1 for a second dog. What a deal! The place is not tax funded and only operates off the donations. I gave extra! The dog park was at one time a zoo..I saw 3 fenced areas, one with water. We are saving that for summer. One for older or less active dogs. There is supposedly an area for small dogs. We went to the big dog area. It was fully fenced and a huge space. There were enclosures reminding you it was once a zoo but it adds to the beauty of the place. The dogs loved it. There were paths to run through. Areas to explore and best of all, a pump for fresh water! Lots of trees for shade. Ample supplies of poop bags and garbage cans. Did I mention, best...

Great place for...

We came out for the Christmas lights this year. We have been to see them a handful of times in the past & the last time was 2021. At that time the lights were run down and some were even broken. We were very disappointed. We decided to come again this year, since we now have 3 kiddos (6, 4 and 2) & I was so pleased to see that the lights had been fixed. It was so beautiful and reminded me of when I was a kid & came to see the lights for the very first time. Simply magical.

Heads up... there is a fee ($10 per car) to get in and see the lights.

As for the park itself, we have been to it on a normal day too... They keep it very clean & the castle...
