James Hunter Dog Park

"Nice to have an off leash area for the pups to run around and play with other friendly pups and owners. I am not a big fan of the clay gravel base since it tends to stick to the toys and fur"

"Big area with lots of seating, including in the shade. No small dog side but all the big dogs were friendly. All gravel/sand."

"Small to medium sized dog park. Several benches inside and outside the park with a park and grass area on the exterior. Inside the fence of the dog park are a few shade areas spread sparsely and a bench or two. There's an inactive fountain and some ledges to the side of the entrance. In the middle is a large sand field/pit for your dogs to run on. It's a great use of sand and is comfortable to walk on as well as easy to maintain."

"7/30/21 waterfall off and blocked off Convenient location but just a giant litterbox if not for the waterfall. The sand is very gravelly and just reflects all the heat, plus absorbs all the pee, making the whole park smell pretty bad when the wind brings it toward you."

"Poor drainage. These photos were taken a couple days after we had a light snow. The dogs pee and poop in the water and then play in it and even drink it. We can't go to the park on days like this without throwing our dog in the bath immediately afterward. The good thing about this park is that it's convenient for a lot of people. However, it could really benefit from better design. Besides the drainage, two other areas where it could improve include 1) the sand. The sand isn't pleasant and I think it prevents a lot of the park from being used, since people and dogs alike do not venture to the far end of the park often, and 2) lack of shade. I think this park could really benefit from additional shade during the summer. There really is no shade."
