The park is approximately two acres, split into two sections - one for large dogs and one for small and shy dogs. The fenced area is off-leash.

There are large oak logs to keep dogs interested and for owners to sit. Water is available. There is a station for waste collection materials and disposal.

The dog park will open from 7 a.m. to dusk. No other animals are permitted. A complete list of rules is posted, designed to keep this new park safe, clean and enjoyable for all.
