Confirmed from University 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.
Paved park for dogs with fenced-in sections, plus a man-made pond.
What runners say about University Park
“The park itself is super clean and very well maintained!”
“Friendly people and our toddler great dane ( 8 months old) enjoyed running and playing with the dogs outside.”
“There is also a very nice walking trail you can use to take your dog on a nature walk of sorts.”
We were visiting the area from out of town when we stumbled upon this fantastic dog park!! The park itself is super clean and very well maintained!! There are separate fenced in areas for the small dogs and the larger ones. The area for the large dogs has several obstacles such as tunnels, steps, hoops, etc...
Great place. First time to go to this dog park. Friendly people and our toddler great dane ( 8 months old) enjoyed running and playing with the dogs outside. We will be back. Not crowded in the morning, although i understand the place is busy in the evenings.
Great place to let your dog run around and get off their excess energy! My girlfriend and I love taking our golden retriever, and everyone is usually very friendly and nice. I feel very comfortable letting our dog play and run around with the other dogs.
Great place to take your dog if it likes to run or swim in the pond or workout at the obstacle course. Separate area for small dogs as well. Great place for you and your dog(s) to have some fun
