It's ok for larger dogs, in my opinion. I live 1/2 a mile away, but choose to take my chihuahuas to Sneidger dog park. I'm nervous at Shawnee. I have found a lot of the dog owners don't pay attention to their dogs. The park I go to is a mix of small and large dogs. There is a great group of regulars and they keep an eye on their dogs. Obviously you want to be comfortable with your dogs in a safe environment. There is always a risk involved at dog parks. I'm just more comfortable elsewhere.
