Great dog park take our pups every week!

Cool dogs and kewl people. We met Shamus McWiggly 10/10 would pet again.

We take our dog here all the time. Its a nice park in a nice neighborhood and you can walk around in the neighborhood too. Currently there are so many different kind of mushrooms growing in the wild which I find quite fascinating. They have a childrens area and a separate dog park too.

Basketball and tennis courts, playground equipment, green space and shade. Its a great neighborhood park.

There was too much gravel for the dogs to run around on. It should either be grass or sand. A lot of people just leave their dogs poop lying around. They do have 2 places to get water for the dogs and there are a lot of tennis balls laying around. The only plus side to this park was that it is free and located in a nice area.

It allowed me to gather myself this morning!

Its the only dog park that is free in the area. It needs some improvement; lots of mosquitos & sand. But because its free, people keep going and that means there is usually a few dogs there at any time. My dog is always worn out after and sleeps well for hours. If you need your dog to get out some energy, go here for free. (see pic below).

Great park, dog park and playground in the beautiful outdoors. Very family-friendly and safe. Highly recommend!

The dog park here is open to all which is awesome for people who dont want to pay a fee. The downside to that is theres no way of knowing if the other dogs coming into thr park are properly vaccinated. The actual dog park is not anything luxurious and could definitely use a small cleanup of all the natural debris from trees in the area. As for the rest of the park, I have only seen it from a distance and it looks well maintained and is close to USC so within walking distance for most.

Its a free dog park, but other than that it has nothing to offer. Some people have aggressive dogs and dont feel the need to watch them, others dont pickup after theirs. Its not very maintained. Honestly, just pay a membership fee at a better park. Itll be bigger, cleaner, and youll have to worry less about aggressive dogs and negligent owners.

We have taken our dogs here a few times. Not a huge fan. There is always someone not watching their dog, or the dog being aggressive to other dogs.

When I see people maybe its better...

There is a fenced in area for dogs but its small. The bigger area that people let their dogs run in is not fenced in and leads to a street.

Like most city of Columbia parks Mrs Douglas is pretty dumpy. Broken bricks in the amphitheatre, chipped paint on the building, and well work playground equipment. But what she lacks in looks she makes up in character. Down the bottom of the hill you can look up at the cars driving by and feel like you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Shandon.

This was our first time at the dog park and it was great! The space was large, and all the people were from that neighborhood and were friendly. There is a water spigot and a few dog bowls for the hot days. There are a few benches and plenty of shade. Other reviews share that dogs can get under the gates. They have fixed it for now with cinder blocks which work fine, but they will have to do something more permanent in the future.

Has a dog park, playground for kids and a splash pad. There is a tree that is perfect to lean against if you are just killing time. Oh, there is a Pokemon gym there also, of you play Pokemon Go

This dog park was pretty tiny but at least they had a place to run around a bit offleash. Centrally located so that was convernient.

Very quaint. Peaceful and clean.

I visited this park with my dogs this morning and it was great fun. The park is pretty good sized and has shade, water, and an assortment of toys. There is a lot of sand and not a ton of grass, but Im pretty sure my dogs didnt care one way or another (plus the park is free). Also, the other dogs (and people too) were very nice and looked after their dogs accordingly. All in all, we will definitely go back.

Speaking for the dog park, I always meet friendly people here and my dogs seem to love it, theres no grass though and the water fountains are iffy. Theres a huge gap under the second gate, so any dog could get under, they cant escape completely but its still risky. Still a decent place to bring your dog just for fun.

A good neighborhood park. In need of updates but very cozy.

Great family and dog park! Definitely will be back!

Nice park. But since its public beware of aggressive dogs. I have a Doberman and she loves other dogs and plays well. Just runs a lot but last time I brought her to this park she was bitten by an aggressive dog twice and bled.

Great dog park!

Great place to take your dog especially if you wish to socialize with other pets and their parents. Could use more grass and poop bags. Also the gate needs fixing so dogs wont crawl underneath.

Public dog park

Amazing park. Mostly empty on weekends

Conveniently located. Could use some revitalization of grass etc. My kid likes the swings. Movies played during the summer. Adjacent dog park could also use some work.

Very fun for the dogs, but there is a very steep hill and there was a board with nails on it. I recommend for young dogs that have a lot of energy.

Great dog park! Kids loved it too!

Very good dog park

I and my dog visited there last Sunday morning and today. The first visit seemed alright. Ive noticed lots of young people go there with their dogs. Some bring more than one dog per person. Which was the case today. Her very large dog was very aggressive toward not only my dog but other dogs as well. I asked her to please remove her dog from the park and she tried to tell me that her dog isnt adggressive and that he is only 10 month old. Then her dog tried to bite my leg and again I asked her to remove her dog, she said her dog didnt bite. She eventually left. The park itself is not big, it has two stations for water access and two simple benches.

Its the only free dog park in the area. Keeping that in mind, its not very well maintained, pretty muddy and only one of the two water spouts works. There are a lot of dog poop piles, and its not very big, but its well stocked with tennis balls and has a couple dug out spaces under roots for dogs who like to explore or dig. Just please pick up after your dog!

Love the dog park there.

It is small. But other than that its a very nice little park. They have the bags to pick up after your dog. Plenty of toys and has water spout and bowls for water. Only park in Columbia that is free, that I know of. 4 stars for the fact that it is on a hill, not many places to sit (2 benches and a brick wall). There are 2 gates, the kne that goes into the park has a big gap between the gate and ground, and has 2 bricks trying to close it off, but smaller dogs can get under the gate.

Very nice, clean park in a quiet neighbourhood. Even has a fenced dog park and water fun sprinkler.

Very friendly people and fur babies!

Best dog park in Columbia because its free! Always very busy which is so nice because our dog gets a lot of physical activity and is definitely tired out afterwards. Its a lot of dirt not very grassy but that doesnt make a difference

This park is tiny! There is no grass, no poop bags, no garbage can. Smaller than my backyard..and completely on an incline.

This is the best camp ever and the park is good #bestcampcounclerMr.Joe

Good local dog park but is very dusty and not well managed. My dog loves it though

Great little dog park. I havent found any others around here so I was happy to find this one!

This is a pretty decent dog park. The lack of grassy area is definitely a downfall.

Pros: Free and open to the public. Park hours are sunrise to sunset.Cons: VERY small, no grass (muddy), and built on a hill.

Cute little park with nice equipment and a day care program

The dog park needs some work. The whole park itself seems forgotten about.

The wine couldve been better.

Has a great dog park. A lot of dogs and nice people.

Great places to go walk and relax.

Free gated dog park along with a larger park

The dog park needs some work

No poo pick up bags. Park covered in dog poo. Gross.

Clean

Perfect, save for lack of grass. Childrens playground adjacent

This park is great as it has a large open area and some play equipment for the kids, I only dislike that during school afternoons a ton of middle schoolers come down and are quite rowdy.

Its the size of 2 tennis courts. 90 percent of it is a hill. and its dirt and big rocks. has free water for dogs to make up for the excuse of a park

Plenty of room for my dogs to run and no fees!!

Small city park with playground, stone amphitheater, summer movies, and a sprinkler in the heat.

Emily Douglas park includes a playground for ages 2-12, a dog park, an open field, and an area to sit. Emily Douglas park has events also.

Place needs some repair. Dogs can get under the in/out set of gates.

Friendly people, and everyone picks up after their pets. It would be better if it had grass.

Did not visit their park.

Relaxing and a great dog park

Dog park is 100% dirt. No grass.

Clean, has water stations and plenty of garbage cans. Dog park is all dirt, but the dogs dont care!

This is not a great park.

Good place for dogs and kids
