I love this park, but I wish there were more grass. I'm sure it's difficult to keep the grass alive as it's so popular, but still, maybe more maintenance could help a bit. There is a timid dog area and an area for non-timid dogs. This has been great for my dogs as one is a bit more timid than the other. It's huge, so my not very social dog can wander around the edges hunting for bugs or whatever he thinks is there while my other very social dog runs with the pack. \n\nOne of my dogs picked up giardia once, but I'm sure every dog park has that issue as ignorant owners will continue to bring their sick dogs to the park. I just make sure to bring our own dog water bottle so they don't drink out of the community water anymore. For the most part the park is clean, but occasionally some jerk owner won't pick up the poop so it's not perfect.\n\nMy only irritation are the owners who bring their small children. Dog parks are not a place for small kids. I want my dog to run and play without hesitation and my super friendly dog gets easily excited around children and the parents get all angry. There are play places outside the fences where children can play. If your kid can't handle big dogs, don't bring them. I was very shocked when one person brought their baby in an open stroller. Then they got all sorts of angry when dogs approached them. Um...you're at a dog park, if you don't want dogs approaching your kids, don't bring them. Anyway, rant over. \n\nSo just realize there will be mud and dirt so your car will get dirty. Also, the lake is nice for dogs that like to swim, just be cautious about infectious diseases.
