Andersen Dog Park

"I am rating this park based on one visit. There is water, garbage cans, bags as well as two nice sized fenced in yards for both large and small dogs. Both of these areas are separated by a gated fenced in hallway. We have a small new puppy who at home is an escape artist. Both the entrance to the gated hallway and the entrance to the small dog area have a big enough gap under each gate that once this 7 pound puppy discovers it she could end up running out in the street. I wonder if it has ever happened? Even if it has not it deserves a negative star based on just the anxiety of feeling your dog could get out. If my dog got out the rating would be as low as it would allow The one time we went an older man who couldn't walk without assistance and with a large active young dog parked his vehicle and let his dog run off leash to the fenced in area. I learned he was a regular that others knew and opened the gates for. If they really want to help him, other members and other dogs maybe they could walk to his car and take his dog on leash to the larger dog area? I was glad that I was not trying to get my two small leashed dogs back to the car when this transpired. The walk to the car is a bit long to feel you and your dogs are in a safe zone. Those that regularly attend the park also can contribute to the experience especially if they are supportive to irresponsible dog behavior. I would do a test run before going through the hassle of getting a pass. I would use this park if the two issues I mentioned are addressed one of which might settle itself naturally if my puppy gets too big to fit under the gates and the remaining issue I can solve by leashing that large dog and guilding it into the large dog area myself. We may be back someday but would like to try the one in Scotia."

"Love everything about the park. I do feel some are inconsiderate with their dogs who are aggressive and don't take the proper steps to socialize."

"Great place to bring your dog! Lots of space for dogs and two different play areas; one for large dogs and one for small. And if the dog park isn’t your thing, the walking trails next to it are also great!"

"It's a great sized park. Small and Large dog sides. Lots of parking space. Not all that busy which is great. I'm not a fan of how far the water fountain is for the pups. Wish it was closer to the fenced in area."

"Very nice place. Lovely hiking trails. Amenities are great. Good, clean drinking water and doggy pit stop supplies. I only saw one dog pile not cleaned up."
