Twin Lakes Recreation Area

Twin Lakes is a very nice park overall, but the dog park is very messy. We only stayed for about 10 minutes because our dogs are less than 8 pounds and were picked on the whole time. My dog couldn't even enjoy himself because he was running away from 4 huge dogs with his tail inbetween his legs the whole time. After being pinned on the ground and bit, we all left. The other dog's owners were nowhere to be seen. Our shoes were full of dog poop, but more seriously dogs can easily contract diseases through their paws from dog poop. Overall, the park needs stricter waste pickup rules and a seperate area for small dogs and big dogs. It would make it much more enjoyable!

Pros: Large area to run

Cons: Dog poo everywhere, small dogs get attacked by larger dogs

My dogs love this place. They are giant dogs, so they need a place to run around. They love to swim in the lake, and there are benches for the owners to sit on. It's a good place to go in the summer so your dogs can cool off, and there are lots of sticks to throw. Just remember to pick up after your dogs- but there are bags and trash cans provided.

Pros: lake, space to run, lots of other dogs to play with

Cons: the fences aren't that great- dogs can run away
