Description: The Grass Island Dog Park is a fenced-in dog park with separate entrances and areas for large dogs and small dogs. There is running water and bowls, as well as a kiddie pool outside the fenced area to rinse off your dog. The plot of land is a little more than an acre and overlooks the Grass Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. There is bench seating, poop bag dispenser, waste bins, and cedar chip ground cover in the center of the field.
REVIEW BY DUSTY BLUE: I really liked the dogs at this park. I had a blast playing with a Siberian Husky and some other mixed-breed dogs. There were enough trees for me to mark up and a good amount of room to run. This is kind of a no-frills park, but it’s nice. My owner complained that he couldn’t take the smell of the wastewater treatment plant which is just on the other side of the back fence, but I didn’t mind!
