I agree with Janet, please go to the RDOG3 meetings to assist and support developing a new doggie park that is bigger and better. Otherwise, let's not be critical of what others have worked to achieve. Thanks.
Here are some links to give you some history.

I do recognize all the hard work going into getting this small park, but looking at it from a law student's point of view, this park at the small dog section is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I had to watch out for falling when trying to pick up the poop from my dog Sport while also watching my dog and not tripping on the rather steep slope. The big dog section is better as it is not so much of an incline. I have never taken Beau there and probably will not.
Someone will fall though and almost any lawyer could argue that you do not put dog parks designed for seniors and they dogs on steep inclines. It is very foreseeable that someone will fall and then sue.
