Confirmed from Sandhill 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.
Small, fenced enclosure with separate areas for large and small dogs, plus a playground and picnic tables.
What runners say about Sandhill Park
“The city workers do an excellent job in maintaining the grounds and dog clean up bags.”
The dog park is big enough for my dog to run, but not so big that I wouldn't be able to quickly grab him if another dog is getting too rough with him. Most of the dogs there are very nice and usually people take their dogs out if they're misbehaving.
Great dog park, high fences, plenty of room to run! Owners who were there were very friendly and responsible... Our retriever s loved it!
