The smaller fenced area is open to all dogs, except for the small dog hours(35 lbs. or less.) The park is limited to only small dogs on Tuesday 6-7, Thursday 5-6, Saturday 10-11, and Sunday 1-2. Sometimes, especially Saturdays you can have 30 to 40 small dogs having a good time during small dog hour.

Good for the little guys

Brought our puppy to the park. Although small dogs were not the only ones in the small dog area our experience was great. From my personal experience a dog fight can occur anywhere, the sidewalk or a dog park. The important this is to be aware but by all means do not stop socializing your dog. Sometimes the lack of socialization with one dog is what leads to a 'fight'. Small dog time at the park is Tuesdays 6-7pm and Saturday from 10-11am.

I really like this park!

It's not the biggest, but it's well kept and I've always found cute dogs for my guy to play with.

As far as agressive dogs, don't stop coming to this park because of it. What happened to your dog (very horrible) can happen at any dog park. It's so sad when people stop bringing their dogs to the parks because of rare instances like this. It means less nice dogs for my nice dog to play with!

Aggresion

In my experience dogs fight for 2 main reasons, and usually in this order, first, a dog commming through the gate, second, treats (please leave them in the car). There are other reasons dog don't get along but I have seen those the most.

Aggressive Boston Terrier
1

I had walked up the trail from Victoria with my family and my 6 month old Standard Poodle. Started into the lower dog park and a Boston terrier attacked my poodle. Very aggressive! the worse I have seen at any of the dog parks with any dogs! Then the Rottie that was there became quite interested in my dog as well but did not attack him. The Boston terrier was grabbed by two children. No adult would take resposibility for the dog. A woman that was there when we walked up said that he just needed to sniff my dog and he would be ok. NO.. he attacked my dog as we were waiking in the gate. Biting him viciously and quickly on his underside. Terrifed my dog, tried to escape but the Boston would not let go. What is the matter with some PEOPLE!! I wished I would have called the police but the children holding the dog were maybe 8 and 10 yrs old. The couple of adults that were there said he had been fine with their dogs. Sorry no excuse.. my pup had done nothing but try to get into the park. I have been to the upper park a couple of times when he was younger and for the most part things were always fine. Only once before at the larger dog park and there was some questionable behavior by a couple of dogs then. A shame, closest to my home but not great experiences.

Our puggle loves this park. We go there with a friend who has a Shepard and use the smaller area and always meet the nicest people and dogs. I have never had any problems at all. It's a great park to go to!

A pretty nice park

There are two fenced parks here; one above and one down below on a path. The upper (smaller), fenced park is mainly for smaller dogs while the larger one below is mainly for larger ones. Owners do need to do a better job at picking up after their dog and watching it so they don't hurt smaller dogs but for the most part it's a pretty decent place to let your dog run without worry.
