    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.

    Dog Park and the large dog area

    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.

    ATTENTION. LARGE DOG AREA IS CLOSED 11/3-12/15/21. The are at the small dog park so it's a danger to your small pet.

    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.

    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!

    Whoever this dog belongs to, be sure to watch your dog. This dog jumped the fence and was trying to hump my dog!

    Whoever this dog belongs to, be sure to watch your dog. This dog jumped the fence and was trying to hump my dog! Of course when we took him back nobody wanted to claim him. Park needs maintenance and upkeep since people don't pick up their dogs poop.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    The girl apparently knew them and also was rude to me and manhandled my dog.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The section for large dogs is bigger than the section for small dogs. Poop bags and water stations are available in both spaces. There are a few benches and tables in each area as well. This park is fairly well-maintained, although it could be better. Most dog owners that I've run into seem friendly and responsible. However, there are some owners that are completely careless and do not control their misbehaving dogs. Watch out for some of the huskies that are brought here (they can get aggressive). Hours are supposedly 7am to 7pm everyday. However, I have run into multiple instances where they have not opened up yet even though it was past 7am. It would be nice if they opened the park in a timely manner.

We got almost 2 full hours of fun play until it got dark. So cool! Courts were really nice. However, they may need to be swept and rinsed down. There are 3 entrances onto the courts. Benches are available on one side. The waitlist rotation paddle system is closer to the benches. Restrooms are nearby the courts, but if they are closed, you'll have to walk over to the other restrooms near the children's playground or basketball courts area. Btw, the pickleball courts do not have any lights for night play. Once it gets dark, you'll have to call it a night! However, the tennis courts do have lights for evening play. If allowed (not sure), you may bring your portable pickleball net and lines for use. Just a thought. Weekends will probably be very crowded. So come early to snatch a court for however long possible until waitlist rotation comes into the picture. I'll definitely be back to LOP for more fun pickleball play. Thanks LOP!
