Ellison Park had long been known as a favorite destination among local dog parents before the county put one of its first public dog parks there. But once the off-leash area for dogs opened it became immensely popular. It’s easy to see why. The dog park features a fenced, gravel covered play area for larger dogs and a separate pen for small breeds, as well as a grassy play area with a pond for pups to splash around and swim. Like their humans, dogs need exercise, mental stimulation, and to socialize, all of which a romp at this dog park provides.
