dogs arent allowed access, there is some shady areas but i wouldnt recommend leaving your dog there, as even windows down it gets hot and with the sun moving it will end up facing the car at one point, theres a nice walk outside the wetlands near the river however for dogs :)
Q:
Can I use the cafe without paying to get in to the park?
A:
