We visited for the first time this evening from across town. It's a nice little park. To me, the most impressive feature is the man-made entry area(s). It offers lots of space and niches along the sidewalk and grassy area to keep dogs apart, should that ever be necessary.
Once inside, we explored the large dog area and after all the other dogs left, we hopped over to the small dog area. The small dog side is pretty small, and there seems to be substantially less areas for dog owners to sit/congregate than the large side, but it's still decent. The fenced pavilion between the two areas is pretty cool. I especially liked the rolling gate/fencing feature (which serves to divide the pavilion area into two separate sides. It made me think about how fun it would be to throw a doggie birthday party or other such silly gathering of good little pups. ๐ฅฐ
Comparatively speaking, the grass on the small dog side is soft and lush almost like a lawn, but the big dog area is pretty rough and weedy with a huge dirt patch and a few rocky areas to prevent mud pits in wet weather.
Overall, I'd say that it's close proximity to the walking trails is ideal, and the broad range of sponsor plaques on the fence are a great way to advertise while supporting a nice place for dogs and their owners.
Lastly, I didn't see very many neglected piles of poo. And I appreciated the comfortable friendliness of a handful of the dog...
ย ย ย Read moreWill never be back. Dog and I got attacked the second we walked through the gate. This was our first time here. Before we went in, I asked owner of dog if his dog was friendly he lied and said yes and then stood there and did nothing while I screamed for help. I left with a bloody hand, a ripped jacket and pant leg with claw marks down my thigh. Thankfully no stitches needed. I was able to protect my dog, it could have been worse. Was bad enough. Owner was a middle-aged white male with a larger grayish beige mixed breed dog. I believe it was a female dog which surprised me even more. This man never said a word to me during or after attack, no apology and made absolutely no effort to control his dog. It was as if he wanted this to happen. Trying to upload pictures of my injuries in case no one here wants to believe, but, having trouble. I'm sorry I don't have any more information that might help. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. It was later brought to my attention that what I was wearing may have made...
ย ย ย Read moreYou need to build a barrier on the side where the larger dogs play to separate them from the wooden walkway entrance and exit I can't walk down the ramp with my dog or leave with my dog without it being attacked by dogs along the railing so there needs to be like a two or three foot block from the side of the wooden walkway on the one side little dogs don't pose a threat but the big dogs constantly are growling and snapping and trying to start fights with my dog just walking in or leaving! once I get him into a area he can run, he will have a very good time here. Stretch their legs and run all around. There's an area for little dogs to play together they're also is individual areas. There's water available for free at the pump come experienced one of Davison Michigan's finest...
