Amazing off leash dog park in the winter. Friendly people and dogs.

A+ for sledding. There is a large parking lot and just a short walk from there to good sledding hills. The hill is quite long and just steep enough to get some good speed. Be aware that many other park-goers have dogs off leash if this is a concern for you.

Beautiful, hilly, challenging, interesting course during the season. Completely open to off leash dogs during the winter which is a very rare and amazing experience. The course is about as well maintained of a course you can expect for municipal.
