Good to know

Residents-only: a free permit is required (from the Decatur Recreation Center or Glenlake Tennis Center) — non-residents technically aren’t eligible.
Carry a leash at all times; limit of three dogs per person; dogs must never be left unattended.
Plenty of tree shade and fenced shaded trails make it comfortable on hot, humid days; the pools help dogs cool off.
