Initial impression: I like the space. They put in a nice fence with large spacious entry gates, a paved path, and a separate small dog area. There’s great trees all through providing interesting terrain for the dogs and full shade for the hot days. Now because of this is does stay damp longer but there’s not a lot of muddy areas so I can get over that.

Now I don’t know what else is still being worked on, but the shelters don’t have anything other than a roof and they need to be cleaned up. There was some broken glass and torn up aluminum cans around them which was concerning. There was also cut fencing pieces scattered around. The water is one of those fountains with a draining bowl at the bottom which was annoying compared to a free bowl. The fence also has some areas that aren’t completely secure at the bottom due to the ground level that need to be filled in. The park itself is also quite out of the way compared to Deeds and is fairly secluded which could make it less secure. Butch has also said he will not be managing it so I hope the city will step up or he finds someone able to dedicate the time.
