Generally open from 0600 to 2100 during the year, but can extend to 2200 or 2300 in the Summer.
The main parking area is a shared parking lot with nearby sports fields. It is located off of Dorman Rd. The sign at the entrance reads "Beban Park Artificial Turf Fields" The secondary parking access is off of Labieux Rd near the intersection of Labieux and Dorman Roads. There is a small sign with a cartoon dog and 'Dog Off Leash Park' on it.
The surface is mostly flat with some raised areas in the large dog area for variety with a couple of large tubes for the dogs to walk through and provide a little shade in the summer.
The surface is mostly sand and can be a tad muddy in the Winter.
There are benches in both the large and small dog areas to sit on.
The only negatives are there isn't enough shade so it can be quite hot in the mid-day, and it would be better if there was at least some grassy areas in both parks.
