Very relaxing my dog so enjoyed. No riff/raff.Nice to enjoy a walk around where there is no one to cause trouble.

Stopped by on Sunday, 06/22/25. This place is very hidden - a hidden gem in the LA County! Right below the 10 freeway, this dog park is a great place to get your steps in and your doggo's steps too. It is a bit small but nonetheless a local perk for the city of El Monte. read more

Fletcher “Fetch” Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - El Monte, California

Parking: Has its own parking lot making parking very easy. Includes: Has a fenced area for small dogs and a separate fenced area for large dogs. Dirt with some grass depending on the season. These dog parks are adjacent to a playground area, lots of bench seating, and open grass field with a some large trees. Bathrooms are available. What I like: This location is great to train and play with your dog without having to enter into the dog park. Great area to develop relationship and build focus with your dog in a distracting area. Grassy field is large enough to play fetch with your dog outside of the dog park. read more

HEADSUP: the park itself deserves a solid 5 star, but I'm giving this rating for what happened there and in hopes of getting some help from my fellow Yelpers. My dog was straight on attacked and bitten near the artery (doctor said she was so close to losing her life if the bite was a couple of milli-inches to the side) on 11/22 around 4:30pm by a male Shiba Inu owned by this Asian guy named Guirong (Divine) Yuan. His dog attacked 2 other dogs in the park before he got my baby. My baby girl was seriously injured as she screamed for a whole minute in pain and the park officers (2 girls) actually came over to check, which I very much appreciate. Unfortunately, we didn't find the bite until when we got home as it was under her collar. I did get the owners phone number but he's been dodging my texts from the beginning, and then blocked my number, my husband's number, and all of our friends who were trying to reach him. I reached out to El Monte animal control but haven't heard back from them, same with the Fletcher park office. I would really love any info on what to do and where else to report him, so that his dog doesn't continue to attack other dogs put their lives at risk. read more

What's up: Want to bring your doggo to a park to run and make friends? How about just going to the park to aww over how cute the dogs are? Then a dog park is the place to go. I came across this place on one of my runs and followed the doggos haha Parking: There is a parking lot right up front. Environment: There are two fenced areas: one for small dogs under 35 pounds and one for large dogs. Each of the areas have benches, water fountains, and ramps and tunnels for the dogs to play/enjoy. There are also plenty of poopy bag dispensers and trash cans (please be awesome and pick up after your pet!). The rest of the park includes a basketball court, playground, covered table area, a walking path, and restrooms. The tables and patio areas are not in the best conditions and it looks like there might have been bbq grills that used to be there but have been removed. Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. This is a nice place to visit, especially if you want to let your dog run around. Even if you don't have your dog, it's still a nice place to visit just so you can watch dogs having fun with other dogs. This place is also accessible right off the bike path and you can see the 10 FWY from there. They currently have some construction work going on. read more

Park looks great and new but the people who come here make it unpleasant and shows the city cannot be a destination for your pup like Alice's Dog Park. ATTENTION. LARGE DOG AREA IS CLOSED 11/3-12/15/21 for reseeding. Due to this circumstance, the large dog owners have moved to the small dog area (German shepherd/Husky size) and therefore you cannot bring your small dog to their designated area. They were running at full speed in play which is nice but you cannot bring your small dog here unless you want them to break a paw (I mean leg, happens a lot to smaller shorter leg dogs). One large dog that was running had a muzzle. The green park around was nice but it was full of feces. Obviously owners are walking the dogs outside with a leash and are aware of their dogs pooping moment. They don't pick up the waste so it makes it virtually impossible to have a picnic on the grassy area. Disappointing place at best. Will return to Alice's Dog Park (Pasadena) which has more conscientious people and respect the small dog/large dog areas as well as less feces al around you. read more

We recently discovered Fletcher Dog Park! My pup had an absolute blast running around on the green grass and playing with the fun toys. As regulars at Whittier dog park which unfortunately doesn't have grass, we were thrilled to discover a new spot with my pup's favorite feature! We visited on a quiet weekday and had the park all to ourselves, but my dog still had a fantastic time playing fetch. The only downside is it's a bit of a trek for me after work (Whittier dog park is just 5 minutes away) but trust me it's worth it! If you're in the area, do your pup a favor and check out Fletcher Dog Park they'll thank you! ;) read more

Just tried out this dog park for the first time with my one year old puppy and she loved to play here. There's plenty of grassy areas leading to the dog park play area and trees providing shade. I like that there are two gated sections for small and large dogs since she's a bit timid around larger dogs. The dogs that were already in the play area were relaxed and playful. There weren't any dogs that were barking or rough-housing too much. There are also a few play structures such as a see-saw and small tunnel for them to play with also. I only wish there were trees to provide shade in the actual play area since we were all melting in the sun. There's a bench area with an awning, but it was taken up. Make sure to pick up after your dogs, which doggy bags are also provided. Plenty of parking! read more

For the record, I haven't been to too many dog parks, but, of the 3 I went to, this one takes the puppy cake! It's big, especially for small dogs. I almost feel like the small dog area is larger than the big dog area. Pros are extensive! The space is huge! There is maybe 40% dirt road and 60% grassy area, which is the perfect ratio to me. The grassy area is mostly flat, which makes it safe for dogs that like to run. There are dog bag stations. There are some agility training equipment for pups who like a small course. It is also maintained really well. Cons are pretty minimal, but they do exist. Most people do watch their dog and pick up after them, but, during my one visit, a couple didn't see their corgi poop, so they didn't pick it up. I didn't know who the couple was because they came in with a crowd. 6_6 There was another couple who watched their dog poop and refused to pick it up even after I said something...I'm a bit afraid of being labeled a Karen...so I left it at that. Other cons are part of the pros. For instance, because the park is so big, it is kinda difficult to watch your dog's behavior from a distance. For dog owners who have dogs with some behavioral issues, they should stick close to their dogs, which is sometimes difficult to do because of the size of the park and how fast the dogs can run. It is also difficult to see if your dog poops from a distance (so that you can go to pick it up), unless you're watching him like a hawk. Also, very difficult to catch your dog if he doesn't want to go home. Also, there is only one water fountain. Sometimes, people bring in their big dogs or unneutered dogs. A lot of the cons are human-related and completely avoidable. Otherwise, 5-star dog park! read more

I truly love this dog park. I love how my dog doesn't get dirty or muddy, despite how rough he plays. I've been to many dog parks where I have to give my dog a bath right after. I love how there's obstacles for my dog to try out. read more

It was our first dog park we went. We went today, Sunday, around 4PM, because it was a cooler weekend than before. When we got here, plenty of parking. Parkings are free. Beside a dog park, there's a play area for kids, a basketball court, and a table area. The dog park itself was very clean. There's an area for small dog and big dog (35 lbs+). There are trash cans for you to throw away the doggy bags. Some play things for the dogs to enjoy. Our dog didn't care for them. A lot of area for the dogs to run around. The small dog park area has shade and the large park area doesn't. So, if you have a large dog, be prepare to get a lot of Vitamin D. About 5PM or so, a lot more dogs showed up. I'll say, a very successful first dog park trip! read more

Such a nice dog park! There's seating all across the dog park and the grass is well-maintained! There's no poop on the grass as I see everyone being responsible pet owners and picking up their dogs poop. Yay! Keep it up! :) There's also a dirt walking trail along the parameter of the dog park so humans can walk while their dogs play! There's not much shade but there's a giant tree next to the small dog park that provides a good amount for half of the dog park. So happy there's an addition of the dog park in the community! read more

It's such a good time here! I brought my dog here twice and he absolutely loves it! I initially brought him when he just finished his 3rd round of vaccines mainly because I wanted to socialize him with other dogs as well as kids. This was honestly the best place for that. Both times I came, it was on a Saturday. First time was around 10:30am and the second time was around 1pm. I highly recommend going the earlier time at 10:30am because there were so many other people and dogs at that time. Around 2:30-3pm, the whole park (at least the ~35lbs or less section) was pretty much empty. Small disclaimer, I've also never been to other dog parks so I have nothing to compare this to but I thought this park was super nice! There's outdoor basketball courts, picnic tables around, and two sections for the dogs (one for less than 35lb dogs and one section for 35lb+ dogs). Although not extremely strict since I've seen bigger dogs enter the small section. There is a large area of grass and then a dirt path/trail that runs around the grassy area. In the grassy area there are obstacle courses/equipment for your dog to run up and down ramps or through tunnels. Plenty of benches around the grassy area and water fountains as well. Overall, I am very pleased with this dog park and would love to bring my dog here every chance I get! read more

Fletcher “Fetch” Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - El Monte, California

If you're looking for a dog park that's more interactive than just a big, closed-off patch of grass, this is IT. Once you drive through a short tunnel, there is a long parking lot. Past the small playground and huge shaded grassy areas, there are two fenced off areas for small (less than 35 lbs) and big dogs (greater than 35 lbs). The double fences are sturdy and there is a gravel walk around the dog parks, which can be useful for training for neutrality or walking. Both sections have a water station, dog waste bags, trash cans, and agility course obstacles such as the bridge, the tunnel, and the weaving sticks. When we went around Saturday 10:30 AM, there were already several dogs in both sections. Unlike other reviews, the areas were clean and the owners there did pick up after their pups. I would suggest going earlier in the day for any dog park though, but this place is truly a hidden gem. read more

Fletcher “Fetch” Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - El Monte, California

First off I LOVE this park and I've met some great people and their fur babies have made friends with my fur baby. Today was a one off from our usual experiences there... so im writing this post because of these people I encountered with their viciously aggressive dogs. I was yelled at by an adult male telling me that I need to grab my dog, who was just sniffing his dog, because his dog is not trained and was on a leash and if I don't grab my dog away that it is my fault if my dog gets bitten. I was very confused by this statement. How is it my dogs fault or my fault if she gets bitten by an aggressive dog that doesn't know how to socialize? The individual tried to tell me they were there to attempt to socialize the dog...but then you should socialize them on the other side of the gate..not on the inside and ask the other owners to hold their dogs back so as not to trigger the aggressive dog? That just doesn't make sense to me... anyway another lady there began packing her things up and told me to be careful of them because their dog bit her previously when she was stopping it from biting her dog... which when confronted they denied.. all other 8 dogs left the park after I did about 15min after those aggressive dogs showed up and ruined everyone's time. Socialize in a smaller controlled setting...not a dog park...and maybe wear a muzzle. Sigh avoid these people... but please come to this park. It's great...just not if they're there. I have informed the workers of today incident and they will be keeping an eye on things. read more

This dog park has been such a great addition to the El Monte community! Having this dog park allows my dog to be able to engage and make friends with other dogs which is a huge plus for us both. The dog park is separate by small dogs (less than 35lbs) and big dogs (more than 35lbs). The small dog park has decent amount of seating (5 benches) and tons of shade. The big dog park has the same amount of seating but they have nonexistent shade & the grass near the drinking fountain is hella muddy. I feel bad for the owners since during the warmer days, it can get pretty hot standing there. Also, I love that they have little doggie bags for picking up poop. One time I forgot to bring bag and it was super helpful to have those around. I come here on the weekend, and my dog has been able to play with other small dogs. Some dogs can be aggressive but so far my dog hasn't encounter dogs that bit him. My dog did get injured once while playing with another dog, but I didn't notice till later since it was one of those play where they jump over each other. It was a harmless incident. I been here more than 30 times and have met good and bad owners. Overall for me, I think good owners were more common when I went. I seen owners that would watch their dogs play, stop and calm them if they get aggressive and of course mindfulness of the space and clean up after themselves. Everyone was pretty nice and was just there to make sure their dogs have fun. The cons I would have to say is the hours are not accurate all the time. Sometimes we would go, and the gate to the park is closed when it should be open. We parked in the streets outside but it would be nice to have a more clear schedule. If they can at least update on Facebook or the government site about the schedule. There is soo much potential if our local government can keep their people in the loop about things happening in the community on their website such as days the parks are close and such. Also, I would love to see the government host events engaging dog owners as well. read more

My friend and I came to bring her Lab out. The entrance to the parking lot is super cute. Like a little tunnel. The parking lot is a good size and seems private. There is a section with a playground then there are 2 sections for dogs. One is for small dogs and the other side is for large dogs. They have one water fountain in each section. It's definitely a cute park. read more

I grew up going to fletcher park since I was a kid and seeing it now transformed into this beautiful dog park has been honestly incredible. Ever since the renovation I've been taking my dog here, and he's loved it. The separate areas for small and large dogs, the parking right up front, and even if you don't have a dog it's still a great park. Overall it's worth checking out, never seems too crowded, parking is easy, and your dog will have a good time. read more

Updating my review because we were finally able to visit the dog park. I think it's pretty well maintained with decent amount of actual grass and SHADE!! However there's some snack wrappers scattered in the small dog side. Some people just don't like to pick up after themselves. But didn't see a lot of dog poop so that's good. However, not trying to be a Karen but there was a group of teenagers who brought 4 medium sized chow chow's into the small dog area and they were kinda just sitting and chatting with each other instead of supervising their dogs. One of the chow chow's were a bit aggressive towards other dogs and they didn't really seem to care. I was worried for my small dog's safety so we left after awhile. Everyone else was very good at supervising their dogs so hopefully this was just an isolated case. Would come back. read more

This dog park is close to comparison with Garvey Paws when it comes to size wise. Not sure why they thought it would be smart to make the little paws bigger than the big paws...very limited space for large dogs to run and play. Owners here tend to not know how to train and handle their dogs. My dog was attacked by 2 different dogs as he was entering the park. Owners have no sense of urgency. I had to yell and ask for the owner on the dog who was attacking ours and when she realized her dog was being overly aggressive, she took her sweet ass time walking, instead of rushing over to pull her dog away, Definitely get anxiety when I come here. I've stopped after the two occasions. Noticed the small paws don't really have any issues. If you have a large dog, I would think twice about coming here. read more

Best new dog park around! I am so excited to know that I don't need to drive all the way to Pasadena for a dog park anymore. Although entering the park took a few twists and turns through the neighborhood, the park is quite secluded. One side is the freeway while the other has a train track. Despite that, the noise isn't too bothersome. The great part is that the area for the dogs to roam around is super spacious. It is split between small (under 35lbs) and large (35lbs+) dogs, but both pretty huge. There are a few obstacle courses for the dogs and benches for the humans to spend their time. Even when night time comes around (which is pretty early during the winter days), the lights keep the place well-lit. I am just happy there is a close dog park in the area, yay! read more

This dog park is great! My dog also adores it; he always has so much fun playing fetch with his pals! We like that there are plenty of trash cans, water fountains, and dog poop bags available for both big and tiny dogs. Most significantly, it feels safe and is really well-kept. read more

Brand new dog park in El Monte. There's a big and little dog side with agility course and obstacles! There were also doggie pools but not sure if they will be permanent or were only for the grand opening. Double gates so your pup can't escape, doggie bags and water fountains were available. There's a covered area with benches and benches throughout the park. I wish there was a little more shade in the big dog area but there's plenty of shade in the little dog side and it's a nice dog park for the surrounding area! There also a running/walking path around the park and adjacent playground with bathrooms. When driving there, you need to drive under the freeway (yes a little sketchy) but there's plenty of parking in the parking lot. read more

This review mostly applies to the big dogs area because we have a big dog... Most of the people here are responsible dog owners. I say most because while I haven't directly come across dog owners who don't pick up after their pets, every time I come here, there is poop littered all around the big dogs area. And it's definitely not because there is a lack of trash bags provided... but even if, there is no excuse but laziness. I've also seen some owners bring their small, AGGRESSIVE dogs (growling and snapping at the other dogs when they come close) into the big dogs area because they think it's "safer" than bringing their aggressive little dog into the small dogs area. This honestly baffles me. Why bring your aggressive and reactive dog to a dog park when you know that's how your dog is going to react?? You not only pose a risk on your own dog but also all the other dogs that have to deal with your aggressive dog. Whenever I encounter this, we beeline straight to the exit and leave. I don't have any qualms with the dog park itself, just the irresponsible dog owners. The dog park itself is nice and I've only encountered good experiences so far but use at your own risk (or your dog's risk). Closely monitor the area and check out the area before coming in because you never know if a dog fight may break out because of irresponsible and reckless owners. read more

During COVID, I don't think a lot of people have been taking their dogs to the dog park, but I just might have went during a time where it wasn't packed. I went on a Friday morning and it seems to be a bit slow. The small dog side had a bit more dogs on it compared to the big dog side. It was no problem for my dog she loves the wide open space. TIPS: Just remember to wear your mask and there was a sign that mentioned you can only stay for 30 min. I think play it by ear, if there are a lot of people just follow that rule. When I went there was only 1 dog and they left shortly after. I, myself, didn't stay that long either I was there for maybe a little over half and hour and left because my girl was getting tired and it was starting to warm up. The dog park is very clean. It has cute benches shaped as dog bones. The also have a small shaded area for owners to sit and watch their pets. A lot of cool dog "playground". I also really like that they have a little track so if the owners really want they can run or get a nice walk in when their dog gets some exercise. There's also a basketball court and park for HUMANS! It's an overall nice place for a family outing. Some little things to mention are the location is by the freeway so you'll hear the cars zooming past by. It's also kind of hidden location like under a bridge. I felt like I was entering some forbidden village or something (MAGICAL!). They also have dog poopie bags which is nice, I think adding some dog pooper scoopers might also be a good idea. I've only ever went to 1 other dog park, Alice's Dog Park in Pasadena. After comparing the two, I do prefer this one for a few reaspm. The water fountain at this one is not as muddy as the Pasadena one. The area is also all flat so theres no hills or holes when you can tumble and fall and slip on a suprise poopie (True story, wear closed toe shoes to protect your feets from accidentally stepping in poop). I will still be going to both, but it will depend on how I am feeling. This one is a bit closer to me too and there's a lot of parking. I think after the pandemic this place will be loading up with energetic fur friends! Amazing place!, I'd come back. read more

Fletcher “Fetch” Dog Park - Sign for dog park (LARGE DOG SIDE) - 11/20/2020 - Dog Parks Near Me - El Monte, California

Brought my dog here after reading some reviews. | PROS | + Plenty of parking + Since this is a newer dog park, it is fairly clean + The small dog area is pretty big where dogs can release all their energy + Water station for dogs + Poop bags available | CONS | - I know this is not the fault of the park itself, but dog owners need to watch their dogs and really reconsider bringing their dog to a park where dogs are unleashed. A dog we encountered peed on me/my shoes, jumped on me and starting biting my hair, and was aggressive with my dog. The owner was on his phone or playing with other dogs the whole time. Some dog owners need to be more responsible. read more

This is a really nice dog park! I'm so glad there's something like this in the SGV. I've been to a few in West LA but I like this one best. I like this one specifically because it is BIG. My little Astro has so much room to run around and it's separated by big and little dogs. Little dogs is considered 35 lbs and below. I went on a Friday around 4PM and there isn't too many people. I actually prefer it not having too many people otherwise I'd have to be extra alert for Astro. People also pick up after their dogs, it's clean, and I didn't find any dog poop laying around. There's also ample parking! Friendly dogs and owners too. Would highly recommend :) read more

Cool park. I have a fear of dogs. I was in the area and thought it be a good idea to get close to dogs so I can get comfortable around them. This park is kind of hidden. Very clean and looks new.

The area is really nice and green, not too spacious though, but I've noticed that some dog owners do not pick up after their pooch (whether accidental or not) and I've seen dogs run all over it then play with other dogs, making even more of a mess!! Park is separated to small (~35lbs) and big (35+lbs) sections. Also depending on the day there might be some aggressive dogs so just check out the dogs there on that day and see if it's a good day to stay. I saw a very reactive dog bite another dog one time and the owner was also very irresponsible. The two pups I've came with always came back with something wrong with them (parasites or whatnot) and I think it may have to do with the water here so pls bring your dog your own water. read more

I'm sadden to write this review but here it is. When I first discovered this nearby dog park, I was super estatic to bring my two doggos. At first it was great, everyone who brought their dogs were friendly and seemed responsible, and the dogs were overall well trained. However over the past 6 months of bringing my dogs here, I've encountered many problems and is super disappointed. Here's why... 1. IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS. Dog owners who don't supervise their own dogs. Ive seen dogs start fights with other dogs. But NO owners in sight to stop the situation. I've seen both dogs and people get HURT here! And that's no ok. I'm also talking about owners who leave their dogs to roam around in there ALONE. Without supervision. Chilling outside of the gated area far far away. Like if sh*t goes down, how fast do you think you can run?? But then again, they don't care because they are IRRESPONSIBLE. 2. IRRESPONSIBLE OWNERS. Pt. 2 Dog poop everywhere. Who fault is that? Irresponsible owners. Keep in mind theres free doggo trash bags on site too! Conclusion: This use to be one of my favorite places to bring my dog but it's no longer the same. My friends and I no longer trust this place simply because of the people who take their dogs here. A lot of owners are irresponsible and their dogs are not disciplined. The chance of you or your dog getting hurt at this place is high so beware. read more

Love it, this place is nice and quiet. Love taking my dogs here and let them enjoy the park.

This park is super easy to get to and it has plenty of parking and most of the dog owners are very friendly and mostly responsible for their pets. It's nice to talk to friendly dog parents in the area while the dogs are playing. There's a couple rowdy dogs who's owners don't do anything but that's to be expected. I just keep an eye on them My puppy will be a medium sized dog so I take her in the big dog area to socialize. I have a small Pomeranian too and he big dogs will come sniff her and trot off. It's clean and they have overhead lights on for the evening hours. Which is great since daylight savings time is approaching and it's about to get dark earlier. The big dog area has minimal shade but the small dog area has plenty. That might be the only issue but not even a big one or even a deal breaker. Winter is coming anyways :) read more

Most people take good care of their dogs. But for some, PLEASE STOP bringing your dog to the dog park when she's in heat. It can easily cause fights between dogs. Plus, female dogs in heat sometimes bleed, which is disgusting when it gets on other dogs' fur. And then people think a dog with blood on it is attacking other dog. And the female dog owner doesn't even care read more

Nice park. Gated, separating large dogs from small ones. Clean and roomy. I like how they have a smaller entrance gated area to release the leash prior to going into the main gated area. It's a well kept part, hidden in a quiet area near the 10 freeway. It's a must visit park, near home. read more
