I'm a fan of it being within close proximity to my house, but the fact that the dog park comprises of mainly dirt makes me less than excited to bring my dog here. The park is never too busy and the owners I have encountered have trained their pups well. Any chance I have to Momo socialize with others is great. Being located next to the interstate makes it loud and chaotic. Most of the dogs stick to the inner areas due to the noise. The play areas are broken down into three sections; large, small, and mixed dog parks. I usually like to put her with the mix due to her fascination with small canines. Just keep an eye out so that our tiny friends don't get hurt.
The grass area in the middle of the park is fantastic for her to run around in, but it is less than ideal when their is a full crowd.
