Confirmed from Waggin’ Trail 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.
What runners say about Waggin’ Trail Dog Park
“There is a clean bathroom A word of caution to new people.”
My dogs love going to this park. There’s an area for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs. In the large dog area, they have a short distance trail in the woods. There are lots of benches to sit and watch your dogs play. Some agility courses too. The parking area is gravel. There’s also men and women restrooms.
My fur baby, Riot, loves coming to this park. We visit a few times a week. Never had any issues with any other dogs, their owners are respectful of rules and common courtesy.
This is the best dogpark I have ever been to. It is not the prettiest park because its a DOGPARk, but it meets high standards There are four major areas. 1. Large parking lot. 2. Large flat grassy lot with plenty of sunshine for mostly dogs.3. Large forest with many trails for whether you and your dog want a workout...
Very easy to find park at with both a small and a large dog play area and a large dog play area is huge with paths through the woods on the order of a quarter to half mile in length. The dogs and their owners were totally chill and my dog really relaxed! Also, well I did not use the restrooms.
