Nor completely fenced in so not good for dogs that run. Well kept and is about 90% fenced. Dog-friendliness Not fenced in completely.

Perfect for sledding! I've gone here every winter for the past few years with my dad and brother. It's around 3 degrees out (as I'm writing this) so I'll be back this weekend to sled again!

Used to be nice. Now unleashed dogs roam and attack each other and hassle kids. Good if you want to let your dog get into fights. Other than that, a waste

Really nice sledding hill in Winter! Our church youth group uses it. Only complaint: the soccer goal at the northwest park corner near the bottom of the snowhill needs protection fence in the winter to keep kids from smacking into it :)

A hidden gem in the neighborhood! Great for outdoor yoga, a walk or even your dogs! This is an off leash area for your dog to spend some energy! People are friendly!

Great space for dogs. Unstable neighbor who occasionally walks up the hill to yell at dog owners aside, it's a fun park.

Full size soccer field with goals great for soccer or ultimate frisbee. Has a little league infield, backstop, and dugouts, but the infield isn't well maintained. Has a covered pavilion with picnic tables and several other tables and park benches for seating.

Our favorite spot in GR to take our well-trained dogs! Upper part of park has a baseball diamond, expansive outfield, and a paved trail that goes around the entire upper part. Lower part of park looks like it used to be a soccer field, no paved trail down there. Big hill between the two levels and the paved trail from the upper does lead down to the lower part. This park is 96% fenced in, the corners have entrances that are completely open. One covered pavilion with a couple picnic tables, drinking fountain for humans and dogs, and overall very large and well cared for park. Continue to be respectful and this will continue to be an amazing community park! We've been going multiple times a week for almost a year and have never had any issues with other dogs, people, kids, etc. It does seem like people are (and you kind of have to be) more attentive at this park compared to the other dog parks in the city. Playground None Restrooms None Dog-friendliness Very dog friendly of your dog is well socialized, can follow commands quickly, and doesn't run off Picnic area Covered pavilion with a few picnic tables

Park itself is nice, but people bring mean dogs here. If your dog doesn't do well playing with others Don't bring him! My 9 minth old puppy was attacked by people letting their mean dog off leash

It's a cool little place to be able to take your dog. Nice monumental water tower. Good sledding in the winter, my kid loves it too. Dog-friendliness Dogs are allowed to socialize. Picnic area There is a gazebo and picnic tables.

This is a very large open area, that is mostly closed in. It is not however, a dog park. There are numerous signs asking people to keep their dogs on a leash, and 95% of people completely ignore it. Would be a great place to walk my dog, but other people's dogs are constantly roaming free, harassing whomever they want.

Small park has a flat field big enough for just about any common sport as well as a baseball diamond. Decent sledding hill between the upper and lower sections of the park. Great for dogs as it is almost entirely fenced. Good social scene for dogs and their owners starts just before sunset pretty much every day. Responsible dog owners bring their well-behaved dogs. Dog-friendliness Lots of responsible dog owners with their well-behaved dogs.

This is a great big dog park! Keep in mind though, it's not completely fenced in. There are a couple open entrances along the fence line and the drive way/ parking lot isn't closed off. If your dog tends to run away you're better off going to a fully inclosed park.

This is an amazing park for the community! A shared community space where people can spend time with their dogs and/or children. I love the neighborhood of people who spend time at Cambridge Park. Keep doing what you're doing!

Recently discovered this hidden gem near our house, and it’s great! Everyone is nice, and most all dogs here are well-behaved. The dog water fountain is my Daisy’s personal day spa. We also came here when she was a 4-month-old puppy, and still everyone was respectful and made sure their dogs kept a safe distance. Note that this has been used an an unofficial off-leash park for well over 20 years, so expect 90% of dogs to be off-leash here when you arrive. Keep in mind, though, that this is NOT an official off-leash dog park. It is not fully fenced in, and it’s used for ultimate frisbee and other sports as well, so be considerate of others. If you have a dog who may bolt or bother people without dogs, it’s best to keep them leashed up. We love this place! We’ve been going almost daily since we found it.

Lived across the street for many years and enjoyed taking my kids and dogs to this park. Unfortunately, recently no one is cleaning up after the dogs and ruining it for the rest of us.

This is a nice small park with hills, picnic tables, and soccer goals. The water tower is neat to look at and the place is usually quite clean. There's a temporary cell tower set up right now, but it's also kinda neat to look at.
