Tanner Park
Although Tanner Park is not an official dog park, it is a great place to bring your dog and explore some of the trails that the park offers. In some areas you are required to have your dog on a leash, but once you cross the bridge, you are free to let your pet run around. The park also offers a creek and a small reservoir for your pet to cool off. Bring plenty of water, as drinking out of the stream is not recommended. Because of the popularity, there is usually a shortage of doggy bags. Visitors are advised to bring their own.
