Apparently this park is relatively new, and is still a work in progress. And...there's quite a bit of work to be done, I think. They've fenced in a nice, big area, plenty of room for plenty of dogs to run and play. However, much of it is just bare red clay, so don't go if it has rained in the past day or so.
