For the record, I haven't been to too many dog parks, but, of the 3 I went to, this one takes the puppy cake! It's big, especially for small dogs. I almost feel like the small dog area is larger than the big dog area.
Pros are extensive! The space is huge! There is maybe 40% dirt road and 60% grassy area, which is the perfect ratio to me. The grassy area is mostly flat, which makes it safe for dogs that like to run. There are dog bag stations. There are some agility training equipment for pups who like a small course. It is also maintained really well.
Cons are pretty minimal, but they do exist. Most people do watch their dog and pick up after them, but, during my one visit, a couple didn't see their corgi poop, so they didn't pick it up. I didn't know who the couple was because they came in with a crowd. 6_6 There was another couple who watched their dog poop and refused to pick it up even after I said something...I'm a bit afraid of being labeled a Karen...so I left it at that.
Other cons are part of the pros. For instance, because the park is so big, it is kinda difficult to watch your dog's behavior from a distance. For dog owners who have dogs with some behavioral issues, they should stick close to their dogs, which is sometimes difficult to do because of the size of the park and how fast the dogs can run. It is also difficult to see if your dog poops from a distance (so that you can go to pick it up), unless you're watching him like a hawk. Also, very difficult to catch your dog if he doesn't want to go home. Also, there is only one water fountain. Sometimes, people bring in their big dogs or unneutered dogs. A lot of the cons are human-related and completely avoidable.
Otherwise, 5-star dog park!
