I liked it, my phone joyed it. It's covered with wood chips which is much more preferable to the gravel that some dog parks have adopted
Nice little park just off Wisconsin with plenty of shade and other amenities like water fountains, benches, shade, and bag dispensers
Dog park is great, most dog are well behaved. At least much better than the DC employees inside the building
