⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Doggy Play Area for Your Furry Mates 🐾

This little park is a handy spot for your dog to get some off-leash fun, with plenty of space for a quick zoomie. While it’s on the smaller side and doesn’t have much grass, pups can still sniff around and play with balls and toys often left in the basket. It’s a basic setup, but the provided poo bags and water fountain show it’s set up with dog owners in mind. Just keep an eye on your furball, as some dogs can get a bit nippy in the tight space.

Easy Access and Handy Facilities 🚗

Parking is a standout here, with lots of spots available right near the park, making it easy to pop in for a quick visit. There’s good shade to keep you and your dog cool, plus a bubbler for fresh water and bins with poo bags to keep the place tidy. The park’s location in town means it’s convenient for locals, though access can be tricky when the nearby covid testing station is open. Overall, it’s a fuss-free spot for a dog walk without the hassle.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

This park is quite small and mostly dusty with limited grass, so it might not suit dogs that need heaps of space to run. Some owners have reported their dogs getting nipped or bored quickly due to the size. Also, traffic noise can be a bit of a bother, and access can be restricted during nearby events like covid testing. Best to keep a close eye on your dog and maybe visit during quieter times to avoid any dramas.

💬 What Visitors Are Saying

Loads of parking, good shade, poo bags, water fountain.
Too small, throw a ball and it goes over the fence.
Dog was bored after 2 minutes. Total waste of money.
Lots of fun with other dogs.
Very basic place to take your dogs but poo bags and a bin are supplied.
Great to have a dog park in town, lots of parking, small area but enough to run around in.
A bit small. Can't access it by car when covid testing station open.
Although it claims to be inclusive my lemming was nipped on the tail a few times and is still recovering.
This place is a disgrace. A dust bowl.
Almost always balls and toys in the basket for pups to play with.
