💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →Be aware that outside food is strictly prohibited; plan to purchase snacks/meals from the Tout Suite cafe.
- →If planning a group gathering or picnic, you 'have to' email the park for permission in advance.
- →Parking is metered street parking, close to the park, costing approximately $2.20 for 2 hours via app or 800 number.
- →Consider visiting during off-peak hours ('try to go when it’s not busy') as the park is described as small and parking can be limited.
- →Clarify dog park access rules upon arrival, as signage or design can be confusing and security may enforce them strictly.
Things to Consider

- ⚠Park is described as 'small' with wishes for it to be 'bigger' and have 'more parking'.
- ⚠One report of a security guard being rude and making visitors uncomfortable when enforcing a confusing dog park access rule.
- ⚠Santa event (booked via Eventbrite) was a no-show, indicating potential issues with third-party event organization.

2 years agoFirst time trying it with our dog and my 3 kids. For me visiting alone with my 3 young kids and a dog on a Saturday around noon it was nice! I loved the tout suite for a treat for kids and my coffee. Clean restrooms and an amazing variety of pastries and coffee (I had a delicious mocha latte.) It is a small park, but a good lawn and sidewalk space perfect for walking around with the dogs and letting the kids climb the playscape. I felt comfortable with it being small and the parking being so close on the sidewalk to the park. It was meter parking. I did through the app or the 800 meter number and paid @ $2.20 for 2 hours. We would come back! The dog run was clean and very nice for our doodle with friendly pawrents! 🤗

a year agoSo glad they installed this park here and it has tout suite too! Tons of great coffee items and some food as well. There’s ample outlets and tables for studying /working. Theres some greenery to appreciate all around for relaxation.Great design to the whole place just wish it was bigger and had more parking! We try to go when it’s not busy Note: came here 10/24 and there was security guard that was rude to us and made us uncomfortable.Didn’t know we couldn’t go into the dog park because they designed it with a trail to walk around so it was confusing to me and thought it was open to walk around. The security guard made it seem like we committed 1st degree murder by the way he acted and than he followed us even after escorting us out . Totally unnecessary. I appreciate they have security but he acted unnecessarily

4 months agoCool park, but you can't bring "outside food" to the park nor can you organize a small group for a picnic or eat and drink just to sit with others. You "have to" email the park for permission. Food and alcohol also has to be from tout suite which makes to park kinda lame. Now I know why I barely see people hanging out there
