Reader Notes:

"It’s really a great park, but there are only two sides, one for dogs under 30 pounds and the other for dogs over 30 pounds. Sometimes there are people who bring dogs who are obviously a bit more than 30 pounds into the 'small dogs' side, so just a word of caution to keep a close eye on your smaller dogs. For the most part, the dogs are well behaved but every now and then, you may see some male dogs getting a bit aggressive with the females, trying to mount them, etc. Most of the dog owners are conscientious, but occasionally you will find some who just aren’t paying attention to what their dog is actually doing. So just keep a watchful eye on your pooch."
