Love Boyle! Why 3 stars? Off-leash dogs and mucho dog poop on the grass.

The fenced sandy play area is perfect for toddlers (they can't escape) and a great place to meet other parents. Climbable trees, good swings, and the cutest Little League fields in town. The drinking fountains usually work and hey, two sets of bathrooms? Great! There's a bouncy-friendly area, too, and permits are relatively inexpensive through Mill Valley Park and Rec.

But!! The signs clearly say "No dogs off-leash," but this is completely ignored by many. Don't get me wrong. I *love* dogs. But I don't like dogs that run and jump on me or my kids and I really hate cleaning poop off our shoes. I have had more than one ball popped by dogs (those soft bouncy-balls); the owners shrugged and laughed. ("What can you do? Dogs will be dogs!" Exactly my point.)

Most of the dogs are well-behaved and adorable, but if they are off-leash they belong at the dog park.

One of my favorite local parks for families - always sunny, hence typically warm even on the nastiest winter days. Baseball fields, tennis courts, enclosed playground for toddlers and a bigger open one for older kids, and lots of green green grass for you and your doggie to run around. Why not 5 stars? Bathrooms are so-so... some people can so-so as well.
