    Hidden in the far end near the train tracks is this place. There's a huge area for larger dogs and pretty OK square sized spot for the little babies. Now, everything was great the other dog owners were pleasant and sweet and all dogs were behaved. Towards the end I've noticed my babies bottom skirt (schnauzer skirt cut) had these tiny weeds stuck on him. I tried to pull it off but oh man I mean they were all over his bottom area. IF YOUR BABY HAS LONG FUR STAY AWAY. Also, todays Thursday and went around 10:30am but didn't look clean (thought Wednesday's were clean up day). It also had old toys that had cotton stuffing coming out all over the place. I've been brushing and brushing him to get rid of this but even after a bath and drying him it's still on him :/ It's unfortunate... I really wanted to like this place but after todays first experience never again.

    Dog rules - notice how it says nothing about neutering
    Symone A.

    Bunch of grumpy old people that think this is a " members only social hour " they bring their chairs from home set up shop and don't watch the dogs whatsoever. Multiple occasions I've seen their dogs attack people act terrible and instead of removing them from the park because they're probably burnt out from being there for over 3+ hours they will gang up on you and convince you you and your animal are the problem and need to leave it's ridiculous I was told I can't come to the park because my dog is not neutered and that a un neutered dog make other peoples dogs upset--- what a bunch of BS if your dog can't get along with all kinds of dogs it should not be at the park ! It is not part of the rules that your dog needs to be neutered either for health reasons my six month old dog is not neutered when he's cleared by his vet to get neutered that's when it will happen I don't need anybody else telling me what I should and shouldn't do with my animals especially if they are well behaved and good tempered!

    Big space for dogs to run. Dirty and sketchy location. I'm still trying to figure out what all the old furniture is doing there. They do have a working hose to give the dogs water but I don't think anyone maintains this place. Would only go here as a last resort.

    I have been coming here to thus dog park ever since living in Orange County. Now that I'm apart of another county I still swing by and give my pet his time in the city he grew up in. There are 3 areas for your dogs one is the small dog park where my furball goes to. They have a large dog Area , lastly there is another big area where I feel more family gathers there from what I see. If I'm wrong I'm sorry. The parking lot is huge plenty parking, most of the time the dog park has plenty benches. Small dog area has allot.of sun without shelter for adults so if going not mucjnshade here.

    There was a Latina female who had 2 blue heelers. She trains them and is separated from everyone at the park, but please be aware. Her dogs are reactive and not friendly. The bigger one attacked my dog, and tore her eye. I've been looking for her since. We had to pay a lot in vet bills. Please, if your dog is not friendly, don't bring them around other dogs.

    For the smaller dog side: This park serves its purpose but it honestly seems unkept. It's more dirt than grass which is expected but I've also been to dog parks where it's at least cleaned up a bit. There was also some type of grass that got stuck in the longer pups coats. I've brushed my dog for an hour and there's still some left.

    Blue enjoy a nice day at the Pooch Park.

    I love coming here with my dog. It's a large park for both large dogs and small dogs, with separate areas depending on size and comfort of your dog. There are sitting areas for pet owners and plenty of trees for shade. Not much grass but plenty of dirt, concrete and mulched areas. The park is near by train tracks so it can be a bit noisy, the dogs don't even mind it. It's a very popular park and usually a lot of dogs during the weekend. My dog loves coming here, but what dog doesn't like a good dog park. I think Blue approves!

    This is the absolute best dog park. Nice people, mostly great dogs. Area is mostly well kept. People are good about cleaning up after their dogs. Lots of kind regulars. Newbies are usually good about heeding advice. My favorite place to be with my dogs. Newcomers PLEASE read the signs. They are there for you, your kids, and your dog's protection. Please feel free to ask the volunteers for help. They're very kind. Also, there are 3 sections - one for big dogs, for little, and for if you have mixed size.

    Soo I have always heard about this Fullerton Dog park and I really wanted to try it out! :) It was such a totally different experience and a must if you own doggies. Ok so the break down of this cute park is it has two sections. One is for small doggies which my ones are and the other is for bigger doggies. The large doggies get of course a larger area to play and run in with other dogs. No one is on a leash. The other small dogs get this area where people can sit on benches and they can roam freely. You must still bring a leash because while walking your puppy to the dog park , it has a parking lot. You don't want your doggies to be running around all crazy when people are driving. I've only been here on the weekends just because I'm way too busy on the weekdays. Some weeks a lot of dogs are here but other times not as much. So it is quite random but most dogs are friendly. I've seen ones that have been mean but the owners stop it instantly! So don't worry, and the first times can always make the new dog kind of not interactive. But after doing it some more, they will feel like themselves. Really really recommend going and checking this place out!

    Ask the Community - Fullerton Pooch Park

    Is this park open during covid-19? It seems large enough to be able to effectively social distance. While allowing our dogs to release this pent up energy.

    They posted on their Facebook page that the park will be reopening on Thursday June 4th. https://www.facebook.com/fullertonpoochpark/

    Does this park have lights for nighttime?

    The park has large, overhead sports complex-style lights, and the chip park and east end of the large dog are best-lit.

    Hillcrest Park in Fullerton--specifically the stairs--is no joke, but that's exactly why we love…read moreit. We went early in the morning around 7:00 AM, and it was already packed. Parking was very limited at that time, so plan ahead if you're going early. Clearly, a lot of people know this is the spot for a serious workout. The stairs themselves are brutal in the best way possible. After about three rounds, my legs were completely done--but it's such an effective workout. This place really gets your cardio in fast, and you feel accomplished every time you finish a round. The views along the way make it even more worth it. We also came back later in the day around 5:30 PM. It starts to get a bit dark around that time, so that's something to keep in mind, but it's still a great experience and totally worth it. Overall, if you're looking for a challenging, fun, and effective outdoor workout, Hillcrest Park stairs deliver every time. Just be ready for sore legs and limited parking during peak hours.

There are 400+ steps to climb up and down. The steps are made of timber but could be wet and slippery from early morning dew, so I feel that a late morning trek is better when the stairs are dry. On my second visit, I went around 6 PM. Although the stairs are well lit, I just did not feel safe. I found myself alone at one point and looking behind me, checking if someone is coming out of the dark bushes. Maybe it's just me... But overall, if you would like to hit your 10K steps and/or your target heart rate, this is a fun way to go!

The small dog area is spacious enough - Panini had a great time with ten other dogs during one visit. I also like that there are trees in this dog park! It gives some shade and obstacles for them. I have a few reasons for why I gave this four stars. First, it's in a somewhat busy intersection in Anaheim. Lots of cars driving around, with honking and sirens in the background. Second, when it rains they close the park down for several days, even though the ground has clearly dried after a day out in the sun. I hope the city of Anaheim can be a bit faster next time I'm opening their park. Lastly, the parking. It's basically just side streets along a very busy road with cars that speed for no great reason (thank you California). The parking lot for La Palma park has been closed due to reconstruction, so it's very inconvenient. Parking becomes nonexistent on weekends when there is a game at the baseball field nearby.

    Large dog area -…read more First, The Good: plenty of parking (street and lot), most people and dogs have been friendly, maintenance on par compared to what I've seen at other dog parks, and the turf isn't ideal but it's better than an all dust-land. Also, the small-dog area looks to be a bit nicer and offer more shade. Next, The Bad: across 2 visits within the same week I've seen at least one person each time, either watch or be told that their dog pooped and do absolutely nothing about it. Ironically enough, a different person talking to each the offending dog owners, went around picking up dog poop that wasn't their own dogs. Really weird extremes by patrons, ranging from "I don't care" to "I'll clean up after everyone." It'd be better if everyone just payed attention and did their part, or was at least receptive to others letting them know about it. Also, there's a clique-y vibe at certain times, so take that for what it's worth.

Both sections have bench and table seating, as well as sand and fake grass/turf all around for the dogs to run around in and do their business on. They also have water bowls, tennis balls, and poop bags & trash cans all around. The parks are well maintained and we haven't had any issues at either park, other than little flies that fly around us during humid or warm weather. We also found that the small dog park has a little more shade than the large dog park. All in all, my dog loves it here, even though the dogs can be a little antisocial sometimes and just stick around their owners (like mine).

It's just me and my small(15 lbs) dog. He's extremely chill, friendly, and we've never had any problems at any other dog parks. When we tried to get in, there was a dog barking and sniffing at the gate where you walk in. She didn't seem too aggressive but I didn't want her to get out, so I waited for the owner. The owner came over and called her name, got them away enough so I could open the gate and walk in. I was kinda distracted and starting to take my dog's leash off when the other dog lunged, barked, and snapped at my dog immediately after we entered. My dog was whining and scared, I had to pick him up physically and bring him more into the park because there were so many dogs surrounding us and no one was stepping in. Thankfully, he wasn't hurt so I decided to stay. The woman left right after and she talked with a gentleman on the outside of the gate. I heard her say something like "I'm always worried about new dogs coming in" and "She can sense my stress" implying her dog has reactivity issues. And she was expecting something to happen but didn't physically pick up her dog. It's an off-leash public park so dogs should ideally be comfortable with new arrivals. My dog was chill and friendly the rest of the time, but I followed him because I felt the other owners being very inconsiderate. Then another dog consistently followed my dog and tried to hump him and I kept having to get in the middle. This dog was significantly bigger than mine and I could tell my dog was uncomfortable but the owner sat on the bench and did nothing. This was honestly when I grew too frustrated and decided to leave. I also noticed a large dog jump over the fence into the parking lot while I was there. The park itself is clean and spacious, but supervision and owner awareness seemed inconsistent during my visit. I may return at a quieter time, but small-dog owners may want to stay especially alert.
