It's called Groynes Dog Park and it contains: several distinct areas. A large grassed playing field area for the dogs accessed by a fence chute. Two water areas for swimming etc with the water areas including the sides of the river banks proofed against mud. A small dog agility grassed park and another grassed area for all the others. A cross country area. A wonderful walk through bush. A memorial garden where people can buy a tree and bury their dog's ashes. The whole area is fully fenced and entry to the various sections are double gated. There are water taps and hoses to wash dogs before putting back in the car. Of course there are plenty of free litter bags available and plenty of rubbish bins. Finally there are lots of picnic tables and places to sit for people. Is this doggy heaven?

That does sound like a nice park! We're lucky enough to live in one of the most dog-friendly places in the US, with 12 off-leash parks, and close to 100 on-leash walking/hiking trails.
Here are just a few photos from a handful of the dog parks in my city:
