The Dog Wood Park is a 42-acre swim and play dog park with more than 25 acres of the park fenced. This park is one of the country’s largest, completely fenced dog parks and features separate areas for large and small dogs. Both large and small dog sections of the park have a dog lake, a sand pit for digging and plenty of room for dogs to run around. After spending the day getting dirty, take advantage of the on-site self-service dog bathing facilities and stop by the shop to get your dog a treat or toy to end the day on a perfect note.
