Erwin Chuk: Five stainless steel fountain gates at the northwest entry emit a fine mist of vaporized water for cooling off.
Pedigree Brand: A double-gated entry helps keep the pooches in. Fresh water from hoses and fountains provide refreshment in the summer—all set in a very lovely park.
Todd Kuna: An excellent modern-designed park with a great play area for kids, dog park, natural reserve area and a section for farmers market and other activities.
Jonathan Ferrera: An absolutely gorgeous park surrounded by a palisade of skyscrapers. There is a dog park, a children's (12 & under only) splash park, a number of fountains, and lovely green grass.
Allison Kaminski: Scenic views in the city. Nice place to relax in the middle of the craziness of the loop
hooeyspewer .: If you're walking your dog here, please pick up after him/her. If you are caught without a bag, please ask someone else who is with a dog. Most other dog owners carry spares and will happily share :)
