Great dogs and great people - it's what makes a good dog park! The gravel gets a bit dusty, and astroturf would get this dog park a full 5 stars. Water available for dogs, and a tap to fill up with filtered water for their humans. Park has an area for both large and small dogs.
A well maintained dog park with running water and benches. Usually has at least a dog or two any time of day, and can get very busy, while still providing plenty of space for your pooch to sniff around. Unfortunately, it is pea gravel, so Snuffles and Fido will get pretty gnarly if they roll around.
Love this dog park and come here often but really wish they had turf and not gravel. Does anyone know who we need to get in touch with to make that happen?
I enjoyed this park and so did my dog. The door latch is a bit janky, but aside from that, it is a well maintained park for that morning puppy social.
Great big dog park in the city. Lots of benches and tree boxes. Sometimes there's scuffles with the dogs but that's true if any park that gets busy. They do fun special events occasionally like Doggy costume party at Halloween.
What the park lacks in beauty, it more than makes up for it by attracting all sorts of wonderful dogs and their people. A great spot to meet dogs and people!
Friendly folks who manage their dogs well is the best part of this park. There's water, and a bowl when I was there. The surface is a pretty fine gravel, soft packed, and I didn't see any poop. Bags were available. The usual double entry, minus 1 star for the surface, but I don't have much experience with city dog parks. I will go back during our family's visit. ¹
Was so excited for this dog park to re open, but they picked terrible sand/gravel that gets all over the place. We have to take an intense bath every time we visit. Wish they would have put anything but this gross sand/gravel - would not recommend to anyone until they get rid of the sand/gravel
Shaw Dog Park is a fenced city park run by volunteers. It has become a collective back yard in an area where backyards are small or nonexistent. Some patrons drive from other neighborhoods to give Fido a chance to run and socialize. People are welcoming and love chatting about their dogs. The dogs tend to be well behaved and very friendly. Some of them even go around the park greeting each human or inviting them to join in a game of fetch. No kidding! The Park has a small fenced area for pups under 25 pounds that may not be ready to hang out with their larger friends just yet; and gets busy around noon and after 4 pm. It’s mostly frequented by adults of working age, but all are welcome. You can meet very interesting people there, sit on a bench under a tree and watch the parade of breeds so many! or dress your dog up and yourself for their annual Halloween Dog Custom Party and competition. A couple of issues that the volunteers are working with DC to fix: The water faucet leaks and a puddle forms at the bottom of the park when it rains or snows— dogs love it, humans not so much. It’s a nice place for both dogs and people alike to spend a couple of hours a day.
I would have given 5 stars except for the gravel dust surface. The dust coats everything in and around the park. When the dogs run, they kick up clouds of granite dust. Does anyone know whether or not inhaling this dust is safe for you and your dog?
