It is the first public dog park to be opened in the Farmington Valley and has become the benchmark for other Towns seeking assistance in establishing their own off-leash parks throughout the area. The park is open to the public and there is no admission or membership fee to use the off-leash area. All monies used to manage and maintain the park are derived from donations and the park is maintained by a group of local volunteers.
