What people say
The best place to walk your dog! Always so many dogs here, a great place for social dogs to have a play. Is set off quiet streets so feels more comfortable letting your dog run around. Just wish there was a speed limit on e-bikes going by on the path - feels dangerous with lots of dogs and children around.
