FYI! You will notice some changes taking place at the gated entrance to the dog park. PLEASE show patience as our contractor works to install the solar powered key card access system.
PLEASE, PLEASE, respect his working space as you enter and leave the park. PLEASE keep your pup tightly leashed as to not interfere. We will close the park when the contractor needs uninterrupted space to complete the installation. Stay tuned for information on completion and obtaining key card access.
THANK YOU!

Dangerous temps this week for both pups & humans! Be smart! Be safe!

🐾 Hot weather is here—and our pets are counting on us to keep them safe. ☀️
High temperatures can quickly become dangerous for dogs and cats. Make sure they always have access to fresh water, plenty of shade, and a cool place to rest. Plan walks during the early morning or evening, avoid overexertion, and always check the ground before heading out.
A little extra care can prevent heat exhaustion, burned paws, and other heat-related emergencies. Let’s help keep our furry friends safe, healthy, and comfortable all summer long. ❤️🐾

Hot weather reminders! If you choose to use the dog park during this heat wave remember the rock surface will heat up on your dogs paws. Since there is no water source, PLEASE remember to bring lots of water for you and your pup.
