    I've been going to this park since I moved to the neighborhood in 2019. Took my pup on the big dog…read moreside to walk trails and small dog side to play fetch. Shes a medium dog about 20 lbs. We were very frequent visitors. We had a downfall in 2021 and now shes a senior, blind and a T1 diabetic and bumps into everything. but fetch is her life so we kept going to the park and I would bring her favorite scented squeak toy so she could hear when I throw it and smell it to find it. But our visits started to become complicated when dogs would just run her over or run away with her ball leaving her frantic because she couldn't see was going on. I often times had to get her ball back from the dog and walk to another empty part of the park and toss her ball to her so she could play and get her exercise. This wouldnt stop the dogs from constantly stealing her toys and running away and the owners just laughing at me. And I would explain my dog is blind and needs her ball so she can hear and smell it to play. They would say "it's just what dogs do" which irritated me. Since I kept moving to empty parts of the park and they would just follow. Theres thousands of balls there and hers is a scented squeaker made for blind dogs. So I picked her up and left. I started taking her early mornings when no one is there and that worked for a while. On may 8th we finished our walk and a lady came in with her 2 dogs, no big deal I was snapping my fingers at my pup so she could follow me back to the car. One of the lady's dogs ran over which I thought was just going to say hello, pinned my dog down and started chomping on her. I quickly reacted and grabbed the dog off my dog and picked up my dog and ran her to the fountain to check for wounds. She had a bad puncture in her back that required 3 staples. It was a horrific day. I won't be going back here anymore. I wish they had dog parks made for disabled and older dogs. Its frustrating trying to find an area that's gated where she can run and explore and not get bullied or completely run over by other dogs. We just take little walks around my complex now and play fetch inside my apartment.

    Located right off of Pat Booker Road, right next door to the Universal City Animal Shelter…read more This park is split in half, one side for the big dogs and the other side for 35Lbs and under. The entrance gate is a double gate for those of you with escape artists. Park has running water available for the dogs, and picnic tables shaded by large canopies. The only thing keeping this to 4 stars is the lack of grass. Yes, there is some grass in the park, but it's mostly dirt. The city has plans to plant grass and make other improvements, but they still need donations. Check the gate coming in for info on donating.

    Truly the best dog park I've ever been to. I saw some reviews that said it was poorly…read moremaintained...well, if that's your POV, you haven't been to a lot of the truly crummy dog parks I've been to in the past. This dog park is huge, with a section for large dogs and a section for small dogs. There is a strong and hearty fence, and a leash station to keep dogs from getting out. There are water fountains and benches for the humans, water fountains and a hose for the dogs, and agility equipment for the dogs. There are always plenty of poop bags provided and for the most part it seems most owners pick up after their dogs. There are burrs around, which stinks if you have a long-coated dog, but alas, that's anyone's front yard these days! Most dogs who come are well behaved. Our pup is shy and sometimes has to outrun the rowdy dogs, but I've never seen a fight or anything dangerous at this park. There is plenty of parking and bathrooms nearby.

    This is a really nice dog park. Agility activities and yards for both large and small dogs. Each…read moreside has water fountains for people and pups. There is also an awning that provides shade for each side. The sign says under 13 is not permitted. Not sure why.. but I guess it's a liability for the city. Most dog parks don't have any of the amenities this one provides. There is a bathroom located right out the gate. Look for the softball fields when driving in. Can't miss it. Surprised there aren't a ton of dogs and owners taking advantage of this place. Completely empty for the past hour.
