    I really like this park however, I wish there was a separation from the large dog park and the small dog park. Some small dogs don't wanna kick it with the biggers and get super aggressive when put in "trample" situations. Mine, in particular- she goes from 9 pound mini dachshund to 50 pound pitpull crazy bitch in 2.2 seconds when one of the biggers comes around to sniff her lady parts. Uh uh, no sir, does she want a big doggie sniffer down there, not even for a second. Now for the little doggie sniffers, she'll have a trade sniff and be on her merry way. Really that's my only complaint about the park. Other then that, the people hangin the park are usually nice and keep and eye on their pooches (big plus because problems can arise in 1/2 a second). There is a TON of other space to exercise your dog if they are kept on the leash outside of the actual "dog" park, this is where I take my dog (actually this is where she prefers to run around). Parking is super easy too, another huge plus :) 3 Stars- Arf!

    The listing on Yelp is a little misleading for those of us not familiar with the area. DeGarmo Park has a dog park, but is most definitely a Children's Park. It was clean. The jungle gyms, slides, etc. we're all clean and well maintained. Restrooms were also clean (much appreciated) Many rolling hills for children or pets to run around, as well as a baseball field. Each area appeared to have some type of shaded area to beat the heat. Everything was wheelchair accessible. 5 Stars for sure.

    We have really loved this park - its a nice facility and our dog has a great time there. As several others have noted though, it really needs a segregated area for smaller dogs. Our little terrier has had a few bigger dogs plow him down (nothing malicious, just playing too hard for the size differential) and a particularly aggressive German Shepard bit him today and took a chunk out of his back. With the size differential our dog didn't have a chance of not getting hurt when the other dog went after him. Aggressive dogs aren't supposed to be there but there isn't really any way of ensuring that owners are responsible, and even if it's just the usual rough play or the minor little scuffles that can break out, the big size differences can mean the difference between a minor scuffle and a real danger. I'd love to give this 5 stars and probably would if I had a big dog, but for those with small dogs, I think you have to be pretty careful.

    We visited this dog park during our weekend trip to Chico. The people are really nice and I thought it was interesting that there is a walking trail around the perimeter inside the dog park area for people to exercise while dogs played. Great concept and it's something I've never seen before! I agree with others that there should be a separate small big dog area. I noticed most small dog owners congregating in the far corner but that still didn't stop big dogs from coming over to sniff. Nothing malicious but owners like me with toy breeds know that they little guys can go Napoleon on big dogs so it's not a good situation.

    This is a nice, open, large playground. They need more trees because it gets DARN hot out there.

    This place is gorgeous, and hands down the best dog park ever, but due to the horrible politics we…read moreno longer visit. Its pretty, but rife with bitchy, aggressive small dog owners. I have a young dog who is learning her manners, and is often mistaken for a Pit Bull. Many of the small dog owners were nice and understanding that puppies must make mistakes to learn, but on more than one occasion, we'd had a run in. It got to the point we'd end up getting verbally assulted by the end of each visit. Our dog was a pup and still working out her rude behaviors when we would go. The small dog owners had no tolerance for this, and I had to stop a couple of old Women from taking swings at my dog when she'd go by. It was insane. A couple of times a womn as able to land some kicks to my dog's head. So we don't go back. It makes for a miserable situation for everyone and leads to dog fights becuase they pick up on the negativity. I heard that they opened another dog park on the other side of town. I hope they put in a security guard to moderate the aggressive, fight-picking owners.

I give this place a 2 because of the people who take their dogs to this park. It ISN'T a dog park. They decided to allow visitors to walk your dogs around here, but for fracks sake keep your mutt on a leash. If you want to go to a dog park then go to something that's actually a dog park...Demargio or whatever it's called, but when you go to GRCC remember you are a guest. If you have a dog there freaking pick up it's poops, and KEEP IT ON A LEASE!

It's very useful and I love to see a lot of people be utilizing it. The park is clean and maintained and every time I have visited there have been a lot of people walking or playing with their dogs and children playing and riding bicycles. This is a great spot for a picnic or a walk or just to sit in the shade and relax. It also has one of those tiny free libraries in case you want to grab a book and just read for a while. They have two picnic tables, one on each side of the park and a water bottle refilling station. Even though it's a small park, I came here many times when I was in the area I would love to give it five stars but there is no restroom here and I saw lots and lots of people not picking up after their dogs. So walking in the beautiful green grassy area can be kind of a mind field. . Oh and they also have a couple of disc golf stations but I don't play and I never saw anyone using them just in case that helps.
