Martin Wildlife Park. here is no charge for the use of the Park, and citizens are encouraged to bring their dogs during park hours. 

The Bark Park is designed to allow the dogs to exercise and play off-leash; and there are different areas set aside for big dogs and small dogs (40 lbs. or less). Each park has water facilities for the dogs and seating for their humans.
