José • August 8, 2019Amazing place! If you try their Mac & Cheese I suggest to ask to please leave out the tomato. It’s soggy and takes away from their bold cheese sauce.

Blake H. • July 11, 2020I LOVE that they have the park split between small dogs and big dogs. I think with the sun it’d be a bit better to have a larger pavilion to sit, but it’s an awesome dog park. We go often.

Candice Y. • June 8, 2019It has a variety of things to do for the whole family. You can walk the trail, play baseball, use the picnic areas and play on the playgrounds. There's also plenty of free space.
