WTF?!??
MsMichele P.

This park is huge, there are several different grassy areas to run around however, there are also a lot of REALLY SHADY characters chillin pretty much all over too. You know, the kind that tow their homes in back of their junked up, taped together pieces of metal? Yeah, not a good look. The only reason I went here was for the dog park which was closed and supposedly "under construction". Although there was no construction happening nor any workers in site or any what looked to be "work" going on. LAME. I definitely wont go back here. Ever... without my numb-chucks. LOL

Amazing that this park offers so many amenities and is clean as it is, because its run by volunteers only. A very roomy large dog park and a separate small dog park have nice lawns, tables and provide doggy bags. Membership is optional, but it is a big bang for the buck...really inexpensive. I'm happy to donate in order to have a great place for my big dog.

The size of the play area for big dogs is perfect. Enough room to run around , but not too big where you can't keep your eye on your pup. My 6th month old Australian Shepherd loves it here. Only had 1 issue where an over excited Dalmatian tried to go after my pup and the owner didn't do much about it besides say "my dog comes here all the time it has never done that" keep an eye out for bad dogs and owners and you and your dogs will enjoy.

Love to bring my fur baby here. Always friendly people and friendly dogs to play with. It can get a bit crowded at certain times but other than that best place to take your pooch.

As part of our mission to visit and review all of the dog parks in the area, my dog and I visited…read morethis park at 11:00 AM on Saturday, June 6, along with a couple of his dog friends. This was the first stop on our dog park tour! The park is tucked behind a residential neighborhood, so it feels a little hidden, but there was plenty of parking available, which was a nice surprise. One thing to know before visiting is that there are no separate small and large dog areas--everyone shares the same space. Fortunately, during our visit, both the dogs and owners were friendly and respectful, and all of the dogs seemed to get along well. My puppy was still very young at the time, so I had him wearing a muzzle. It wasn't because of aggression--he was simply in the phase where he would pick up anything he found and immediately swallow it instead of just carrying it around. Even with the muzzle on, the other owners were understanding, and everyone was very friendly. The park is primarily made up of pea gravel, with very little grass. When you first walk in, there's a small shaded area with a built-in bench, and someone had also left a lawn chair. On the opposite side of the park, there's another tree that provides shade with additional chairs nearby. Most of the park is a large open area covered in pea gravel, which gives dogs plenty of room to run around. All the way at the far end of the park, there are several agility features. I liked that they were designed to blend into the environment with faux stone finishes and landscaping that included river rocks. The park also had a watering station and even a dog wash station, which was a great amenity. One feature I especially appreciated was the opening in the fence near the entrance that allows you to easily drop filled poop bags directly into the trash can outside the fenced area. It's such a simple idea, but very convenient. The park appeared to be well maintained overall. I didn't notice any unpicked-up dog waste during our visit, which was nice to see. My only real complaint is the lack of grass. There was one particular tree that seemed to be every dog's favorite spot to stop and pee--I jokingly started calling it the "pee tree." The pea gravel around that area looked noticeably dirtier and murkier, and unfortunately my dog kept lying down there, which was a little frustrating. Overall, this was a nice dog park with friendly dogs, friendly owners, and some thoughtful amenities. If you don't mind a park that's mostly pea gravel and don't need separate small and large dog areas, it's definitely worth checking out.

We stopped here with our fur baby on a cloudy day. I like that it's on a little dead end road so…read moreyou don't have to worry about dogs running out into the streets and it feels kind of safe and tucked away. The park is nice and a good size. It is made up of almost all hard surfaces like cements, sand, dirt. There were a few patchy spots but no real grass anywhere. It was sprinkling on and off during our visit and there is one bench that has a small cover over it so I was able to stay protected, however, the water and the sand kind of filled my shoes up with dirt and especially my dog's paws. Luckily they have a working dog wash here which is a huge bonus at a dog park. I also like how they cut a whole in the fence and have the garbage outside with a spot to reach through so you don't have to worry about the overwhelming stench of dog poo. There are a few benches, but it could use a few more and maybe some shade as well but they do have water available for both people and dogs. Someone left their car key and whoever found it was nice enough to tie it up to the gate, so if you left the key to your Honda here you might want to come and get it. I will definitely be stopping by this park again when we're in the area.

Beautiful park in the Carmichael area, well maintained, great for hosting groups, picnics, BBQs -…read moreattended a corporate family day event here and it was great - plenty of space for multiple bounce houses for kids, shaded awnings, large grassy areas. Parking isn't free but it's also very reasonable. Park is maintained clean and the bathrooms are good. Parking can be a little tricky if there are multiple events going on at the same time, but overall manageable. Not too far from much of East Sacramento and beyond - a solid place for an afternoon walk or outing w/ the family/kids.

Great multi use park!…read more Location: Located in Carmichael off cozy side streets is this great little park with connections to the American River Bike Trail. For the longest time I did realize how extensive the roads and parking is into this area as generally my entrance into this park is off the Bike Trail. It makes a great stop for picnics or for a quick restroom breaks. Activities: There are a lot of open fields, picnic areas, and water areas to explore off the river. One thing is that I would caution exploring the waterways around here as they can be deceptively fast and dangerous. There is also a great handicap accessible fishing areas off the farthest parking lot. Great for working and watching the waterway from the Harold Richy memorial bridge. Cons: It is a self-pay park so important to keep in mind. Can be a little hard to find but is straight down Arden Way.
