There is so much dog poop in the grass you can't even have a picnic with your family. It's disgusting! 🤮 It's also another way that animals get parvo I had a puppy die because I took her to that Park. Because there's shit everywhere. And nobody ever cleans up after their dog.

I'm certainly an avid park attendee as I live for my pooch. Also, he has a bad grass addiction and this park easily satisfies his insatiable cravings. This delightful urban park is neatly nestled amongst the north Capitol Hill neighborhood. The landscaping is all very well maintained, there is plenty of space for large group activities, classes, and of course a simple but beautiful park day with your dog. One thing to note, this is not a great family park. It had its fair share of the less fortunate transient folk hanging around, drinking, playing music, etc. They aren't all necessarily causing a ruckus but simply something to note if going with family. Otherwise, it is a great dog, exercise, meditation, etc. type of park. I'm grateful to have this place in the area. I most definitely look forward to visiting it often with my pug.🐾

The park was small but fun for the little dare devils. There was a lot of people getting drink or high a little too close for comfort unfortunately otherwise it was a fun stop.

My pitbull loves the park for one reason and one reason alone; the sprinklers at night. She loves them. She remembers the exact time they start up at night and she will drag me out of my apartment every night so she can go run up to them and "attack" them. She also loves the grass, she loves to roll in it. 9/10 recommend
