As soon as we arrived, the friendliest staff assisted us on the patio. They gave us water and a treat of bacon for Kida. The food was delicious (I ordered the plate size pancake with banana and could not finish it) and I am saving this location to come back in the future.

Beds were comfortable and clean. The room was very large for our group. They had three pups who live in the office and will peak their heads out for scratches. Only downside was that it was not shared that we were coming with a dog so when we arrived, they had to switch us rooms and add the pet fee. But that was not the hotel's fault.

The address currently listed is the roadway maintenance building which is about 0.4 mile away from the park. After stopping to ask for directions, we made it over to a nice big area that also has soccer fields. There are two large fenced areas for big and small dogs. They have built a pavilion that straddles both sides for some shade and weather protection. A local told me that the plastic wall was a new addition because the wind is strong nearly everyday so be aware of weather before going as you are in an open field. It was not muddy when we were there and the water was working.
For the humans there was a portapot available and several large trash cans as well as multiple benches and a picnic table under the pavilion, one for each side.
Several toys are left out to share which was nice for our pup. Really only a 4/5 because more shade or weather protection would be nice.

Didn't realize they didn't open until the afternoons so check the website for hours and days of operation. Not that upset because we just happened to stumble upon it while driving and want to go back in the future.

It's deceiving when you pull up because the area all around the dog park is surrounded by trees, but there is not a single bit of the park that has shade in the afternoon. Thankfully the weather in September was nice and not too terrible in the sun. I didn't notice any water inside the fenced area but next to the parking lot there was a water fountain. We had brought our own water so I did not try it but the ground was wet so assumed it was still available.

april 10, 2022 was their second annual Egg-Paw-Looza and it was a lot of fun. The Westfield park had plenty of space for all the doggos and there was a nice walking trail for when you needed to get away from the excitement. The vendors they brought into the event were a good mix of dog items and items for humans. The food truck was fantastic. Two different egg hunt times were available, we missed the first one but the second was a lot of fun. Glad that I stumbled upon this event through BringFido because it was the best first egg hunt for my pup.

So we already knew the ground was going to be a muddy mess due to the weather, but due to heavy use it was more muddy then expected. the Large dog park is mostly dirt from what we could tell. So when we come back we will pack extra towels.
Because the dog park used to be several other things (there is a sign about the place’s history) there is almost a perfect loop that is paved which was nice for the humans.
It is a fairly large area so we where able to get some good sprinting to tire out our pup.
The trash hadn’t been taken out and the sign for the water being shut off wasn’t immediately noticeable (I honestly didn’t see it until we left because it had faded)

This park has some large old trees that provide lots of shade. However due to the shade I can see a rainy day becoming very muddy due to the large dirt area at the entrance gate. The water fountain is outside the dog park so I would advise bringing a dish so you don’t have to go out all the time.
Current Covid-19 restrictions say only 10 humans at a time so it’s not crowded.

We went here wanting an “American breakfast” but not leaving our pup behind. They have a large heated patio which was very nice on the cool morning. You do have to go inside to order, but they give you a number and bring the food to you allowing your pup to not be alone for long.
I didn’t ask for a bowl of water but I’m sure they would have provided if needed. As soon as our food was delivered, the employee asked if he could bring a treat out. That little touch was very nice and unexpected. The food for the humans was delicious pancakes, eggs and bacon with many other options. Fresh from the oven baked goods in the morning hours, too.

2 good size dogs parks, the large dog area being nearly 5 acres. Should always bring your own water 1. because of the size there is only one fountain inside the over 30lb park and 2. because the water is already turned off for the winter as of this post (Oct 2). Lots of seating areas for humans and even a large shelter to provide shade. (Not well shaded at the moment but the trees are still small) Overall we loved it more than parks back home and will be back.

This park may be tiny and not as nice as some but it allowed our pup to have a place to calm down after being jostled in downtown crowds. Yes there will be some homeless around, unfortunately many camps are around the River.
