This is our 109th dog park. We travel for weeks at a time all over and need the dog to get out.
I really like this park maybe because it could use a little help and I like fixing my dog parks.
Two sections, but doesn't seem like "small" dog section gets used much
Water
Bags
Trash
Picnic tables and benches
Lots of shade (it was 93 degrees today)
Good parking
Fenced with 6 foot black cyclone fencing
Double gates
I wish kiddie pools were not brought in. If you must get an aluminum hot water heater tray. That is all dogs need, any aged person can refresh the water, and they don't break when dogs stand on top of them. On top of it they have a hole to chain and lock the tray up. Easy!
People don't refresh the pool water as there is too much to dump it, or it breaks the pool to dump it. Then dogs drink and stand in nasty water. If dogs get sick on anything in dog park it will be water!!
When pools are flipped over then dogs stand on them and break them. Then there is nasty water underneath.
Do us all a favor, if you fill pools dump them away from the area the pools sit in (there are buckets - water the poor trees, whatever) and then get some wood chips and soak extra water up with a bucket of wood chips. It took me 5 minutes to get three buckets of chips from around the edges where the chips are breaking the fences. Ask the city to put in a percolator pit of rocks that will drain easy. I ask Scott's Valley to do it and they did!! They probably have rocks already so then just send a city worker with a bobcat to dig the hole and it's pretty much done!
I wish the side single gate had a lock on it. Want to go next door? Walk around. I don't want me dog being let out into the other section. What's the point of a separate section if someone lets my dog into other section? It's STANDARD protocol to lock single gates.
I liked it here. It has lots going for it. read more
