Confirmed from Paws 2 Play Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Dog-friendly

Fenced facility for pups featuring separate areas for small and large dogs, a water pump, a picnic table and benches.

“Good size, clean and beautiful park outside fenced area.”

One of the largest dog runs I've been to. Separate areas for large, small, and mixed use. Also nearby great pet friendly trails. Several playgrounds for kids, picnic areas, restrooms, etc.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Feb 2023

Great place to take dogs to get exercise and let them run and play. Always lots of dogs there everything seems to be well taken care of. My little dauchund Leroy loves to chase his ball and run around there.

★★★★★ — Dave , May 2022

Top notch play space. Enormous run area, water pump with bowl, bags and containers with plenty of places for sitting. If your pup isn’t social they also have wonderful walking paths for leashed friends- miles. Nice parking to access area as well.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

“Huge dog park easy to get dogs to park when they are over excited love the water for the babies and a shelter for sitting for us parents when we our rest period”
