My dog loves this quirky spot!
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for dog-owning families with young children who want both play and dog exercise in one stop. The climbing equipment suits toddlers and young grade schoolers. Families without dogs will find the children's zone works on its own, especially in cooler months or morning hours when sun exposure is lower.

âGreat climbing. Fun area for dogs. Lots of shade in the dog park, but not much shade in the early afternoon for human children and their parents.â
