Positive side is that it’s a beautiful park with wonderful views and a nice beach area. Negative is that although there is a leash law no one abides. We have tried to bring friends who are afraid of dogs but had to head home as ownerless dogs kept running up. Most of my encounters have been positive with the off leash dogs being very well trained and friendly. Just wanted to warn anyone who is afraid of dogs or who have an anxious/aggressive pup (I do) who may do badly with other dogs off leash that this is not the...
