Still, if you’re willing to let your dogs have fun and get a little dirty, this place is perfect for dogs and owners with...

I come here nearly every weekend. Snow or sun, fall or spring. Very lovely and maintained hiking trails that let you experience a variety of hikes, gravel or “off-road”. I highly appreciate that this place feels more country/seclude than the commute physically is. A true community gem. The dogs are a concern with myself being jumped on, barreled into while picnicking, or approached by off leash dogs—but I don’t knock the park for this as unfortunately it happens a lot anywhere. If you can brush it off, you’ll be good...
