The dog park consists of an 8,200-square-foot large dog area and a 2,700-square-foot small dog area, both accessed via a central, double-gated vestibule that allows owners to safely leash and unleash their dogs before entering or exiting the park.
Pop-up small dog park will be open July 15 – August 15, 2021, sunrise to sunset.
