If there's such thing as "too popular", this is it. The park is beautiful and bigger than most but this fact has made it overcrowded and difficult to enjoy. I witnessed 3 separate dog fights per hour spent and do not expect this to change or for there to be a queue system ever.
Edit: upgraded to 4 stars as I’ve been shown around and enjoyed my time now that i know the regulars. There is still the odd bad owner here and there but overall it’s okay, and if you’ve been victimized by ARLETTE, it is my pleasure to announce that she has moved!!
9 SEPARATE people with godawful experiences by her ignorance, attitude and immaturity. Everyone is thankful that she is gone so here is an ode:
A Breath of Fresh Air: Arlette Has Left the Park
For anyone who has ever hesitated to visit the park during certain hours, rejoice—Arlette is gone. After what felt like an eternity of her yelling, screaming, and staging verbal ambushes against polite dog owners, this park is finally reclaiming its peace.
Arlette’s reign of terror wasn’t just about her relentless nastiness; it was her complete ignorance of her own and her dog’s behavior. Her dog, a poster child for unchecked misbehavior, ran wild while she dismissed any correction as “someone else’s fault.” If another dog dared to set boundaries, heaven forbid, it was immediately a personal affront to her delicate world view.
People literally leashed their dogs out of fear when she was around. Many regulars altered their schedules entirely just to avoid crossing paths with her, choosing to disrupt their routines rather than endure the stress of her presence. The atmosphere she created wasn’t just uncomfortable—it was oppressive. People were shaken. Some trembled.
But now? The park is transforming. Dogs are playing freely again, and owners are mingling without the constant threat of being berated for imagined slights. For those who’ve stayed away because of her, it’s time to come back and enjoy the park as it was meant to be—a safe, happy space for all.
Here’s to brighter days and no more Arlette.
Edit 2: Maintenance people should power wash every Tuesday. There are layers of sticky pee on the pink cement area, a pretty gross patina.
Edit 3: the regulars are great people and overshadow the few bad things i mentioned. To hangout with us the best time to come is between 7-9pm. You can also attend late night as it is safe enough to come even as a small person, single girl or disabled.
