| - I moved to Vegas at the beginning of the summer and went from a large house with a large yard to a two bedroom apartment. My poor pup has been cooped up all summer due to the heat and not having a yard, so I decided it was cool enough today to venture out to the park.
The complex on a whole is great. A lot of soccer fields, picnic areas, walking areas. I think I saw a play ground for the kids too, but may be imagining that.
Part of the reason that I chose this park was because previous reviewers mentioned there are three runs, one for small, one for medium, and one for large dogs. My dog is on the smaller size of medium, but usually noticeably larger than the small dogs. I have a pretty serious knee injury and didn't want to risk being jumped on by the big dogs, so I thought the three runs would be perfect. There are only two runs, large dogs and small dogs. Luckily, a lot of the dogs in the small area were the same size as my dog.
My pup enjoyed running around and playing with the other dogs. The other owners were friendly and kept a good, yet playful eye on their pups as well. There is a water fountain for the owners and the pups which is great as there really isn't much shade at all (minus 1/2 star for the lack of shade).
My biggest complaint is that this place smells HORRIBLE! I don't know what the cause for the smell was because as I walked around with my pup, I didn't see any doggy doo doo on the grass and all of the owners were great about picking up after their pups. It was awful though, and seemingly worse in the small shaded area.
Based on other reviews of parks in the area, I will probably end up back here and if it weren't for the smell and lack of shade, I would've rated it 5 stars.
