The small dog park is very clean and well maintained. Didn't have to worry about stepping in poop. That was the good news. Now the bad news. the small dog area is very small. Probably half the size of the dog park i normally go to with my dog. Also not sure what they are called maybe burrs? but these things are all over my dogs hair after leaving the park. It's going to take forever to get all those tiny things off of him. Don't know why they would plant whatever it is that creates those things in a dog park but my normal dog park doesn't have them. Think I'm just going to stick to the normal one I go to at desert breeze. Plus there were no dogs there when I went. My dog was a little lonely and bored. A big bust.
