Nice park, they just need to put in a restroom! People would stay here for the day if they had a restroom for sure!

Glen Arbor Park is a pretty enchanting park with an area of trees along with grassy fields and some tunnels. I was staying in Murrieta, and I wanted to go for a hike. This was the closest place that I could find to go for a walk. I saw many doggies here, which was really lovely. I always enjoy seeing doggies. :) I found parking in the neighborhood next to the park. Pretty easy. There's no restrooms here. It's just a nice neighborhood park. I enjoy walking through the tunnels. I was scared at first, but it was actually okay. Haha read more

See all

Pretty much a dog park with no kids playground. Not sure why people posted a merry go round in the reviews. Just a bunch of empty fields with a dog park. read more

This is such a sweet little park. There's really not much to it. It's small, but the wooded area, including some gorgeous eucalyptus trees, is like a tiny spot of heaven. For such a small area, the trail really makes you feel like you have stepped away from civilization. There's a large grassy area with a single picnic table and barbecue stand for a small gathering. One of two complaints, and perhaps this is asking too much, is that there are a lot of foxtails along the trail and wherever grass is not. I can't walk my little dog there without really watching out for that. A foxtail in a dogs ear can ultimately kill them. Horrible little foxtails! Second complaint, and this truly should be enforceable, is the reason I'm giving this park 4 stars, instead of 5. There are people who do not honor the leash law. It's disrespectful to those who do. People who let their dogs off leash are often quite arrogant about it too. It's rude. As with the case of Mountain Pride Park, very near this park, leash laws are simply not observed by many. A large dog might be friendly, but they can still breaks the bones of a small dog.... Or small child. Come on people, be considerate. . read more

Umm.. I have no idea why people "take photos " here .. it's not scenic nor pretty .. it's basically a muddy field where people don't pick up the poop after their dogs ., if you want a nice place to take your dog the lake in Temecula is pretty .. this place is a complete dump read more

Came here to take homecoming pictures at the suggestion of one of the parents in my daughter's friend group. The park is big and it's in a nice area, but there were tons of mosquitoes biting us, and there was dog poop on the grass. I'm sure it's a great park for sports and other activities, but I wouldn't recommend it for taking pictures. read more

Not the most ideal park for taking your dog out for a walk! Parking is all within a housing community. There are no public restrooms if your out at the park for a Few hours. read more

Really wide open space with a bunch of trees and unique backgrounds. Because it is so beautiful you find a hundred people taking their photos on any given day, from professional photographers to tic tockers setting up their devices. Great family photo spot. Expect to walk. If you're planning on wearing heels, bring tennies to change into, large dirt hill that you have to walk down initially, saw a few women eating crap on their way down. read more

Took my fall session photos here, it's nice I just didn't realize it was a huge hill I had to carry my props and my child. it didn't show on google maps read more

I agree with those other reviews who mention owners who do not respect the law and leash their dogs, rather they're letting them run free in the park. This is not right but unfortunately those owners who do this are not the ones that will read the reviews and definitely don't care that this is a public park and dogs must be leashed and under their control at all times. I live in close proximity of this park and everyday I see people park their car at the curb right next to the fire hydrant. Which again, is against the law but they're probably the same people that don't respect the City's leash law. The park is definitely a beautiful place with big, open, undulating spaces and lots of trees but the grounds are coverd with open gopher, or squirl, or snake holes (not sure which but perhaps all three). There are so many it's almost like the whole area may collapse when walking through the park. Dogs can easily sink a leg into the holes. I don't know why the City can't do something to make the park safer for everyone. read more

This park is beautiful and great for photography! It has beautiful trees, tree logs, open fields, definitely a hidden gem. There is a slight hill you have to walk down, so be prepared. But rather than that it's gorgeous, especially around golden hour, the sun peaks through the trees. read more

I love glen arbor park. It's important to bre courteous with your parking to redirect the neighborhood as this park doesn't have a parking lot. If you go there with your pets please pick up your poop. If your there with a photographer or you are a photographer pick up any and all mess you leave. read more

For some reason, I always feels great after running at Glen Arbor. I really like running here. But hey! Don't take my word for it. Come by and run a few laps here to check it out for yourselves. read more

Please remember- this park is a LEASHED dog park. They are finally giving tickets and fines to those that have their dog off leash.

I love this park for quick, secluded walks with my two rescue dogs but absolutely HATE the rude and off-leash group that bullies newcomers and pet owners who respect the law! There are a few in the morning crew I'm finding to be hostile and they will go out of their way to bait you and your dogs. They do not clean up after their dogs or care about anyone else's personal space or safety concerns. There is an older Hispanic woman with three dogs she cannot control and when you ask her to watch her dogs, she will tell others you're threatening her and making HER feel unsafe, and they will in turn block the entrance and throw their dog balls in your direction so all of their dogs stampede towards you. My dogs are rescues, and one of them is very timid given his abuse history with people and other dogs. They look at me crazy for keeping my dogs on the leash and straying away from them but someone needs to enforce the rules. Why aren't these people being cited?! read more

Love this park as an outlet to take my dogs to exercise and train, now reading the comments below, I can understand people's frustrations, today was the 2nd time I encounter an older woman maybe late 30's blonde with two huskies who run up to anything and every dog they want, I have my dog's trained with a proper recall, her huskies ambushed my dogs to get in my dog's face and when I asked if she could recall her dogs she got aggressive asking if my dogs were not friendly and tried to argue with me threatening to come over into our space herself which I welcomed because it would have been instant conflict and I will protect myself and my dogs. Once I mentioned calling the police to have this conversation she left. This is not a dog park, its a public park therefore TECHNICALLY dogs should be leashed, people take their dogs here so there should be proper consideration for respecting people's space and other dogs' boundaries, if my dogs can respect other dog's space and their owners then other's should be able to have that same control and if not then your dog should not be off leash. I will continue to bring my TRAINED dogs to this park and will not second guess calling authorities should I have another confrontation with someone who can't control their dogs or witness it happening to other newcomers. read more

There are typically loose dogs here. I don't see the leash law being enforced, no matter how many of us complain, and most of the locals tend to be extremely rude or simply DO NOT CARE. Please go to Torrey Pines if you want to legally run your dogs off-leash! This is a safety issue for all. I saw a small dog nearly run into traffic, last week! read more

Such a fun area to explore with the family! We did family photos here and we had the best time! Highly recommend even to just go walk around and explore nature. read more

"All dogs must be on a leash and under full control by the owner at all times, per MMC-Section 12.08.100." This is the motto of the City of Murrieta. Well, this was not the case 2 evenings ago, around 6:30 p.m. There were a lot of people walking their dogs without a leash. This has been happening more often in the last few weeks. And when you ask the owners to leash their dogs, they yell or get aggressive with phrases such as "I do whatever I want!" or "Go away...you are not the park ranger!" I keep my German Shepard on a leash at all times, and not only to comply with city requirements, but to protect people and other dogs. I felt scared and unsafe, more than other times. I was afraid that at any moment a loose dog, or its owner, would come running and attack me. I was actually more afraid of the dog owners! They try to intimidate you when you ask them to comply with the law. This is unacceptable! I pay city taxes and I abide to the rules as a responsible citizen, why can't everyone do the same so we have safe cities and parks for ALL? So my question is WHERE WERE THE PARK RANGERS??!! read more

This park was really open with a handful of space for every sized dog to run around. The only thing that made me shakey was that it was down a hill from a busy street and if your pup got a good deal ahead of you then it could be curtains without a leash on. read more

The two stars are for the park itself, which is beautiful and spacious. However, this is an ON LEASH park. It is not a "dog park". As others have stated on another review site, many of the owners or "regulars" are extremely rude (some are hostile) and most do not leash their dogs, despite it being a safety risk and liability for other leashed dogs, children, seniors, joggers, etc. There are nearby, official off leash parks, in the area, yet instead of utilising these options, many would rather forego the leash laws and do as they please at Glen Arbor. I have talked to other park goers, after having a very negative experience here, and I was told KIDS HAVE BEEN BITTEN, the regulars group together and "treat newcomers as second class citizens", and NO ONE IS ACTIVELY ENFORCING the leash regulations, despite the many signs requiring you to have your "dog on leash" and under "full control at all times". This area could be great if it was actively patrolled by rangers who do their job and enforce the law/fine those who do not. If you have a child or a dog that you would like to keep safe while in an ON LEASH park, this is not the place. **** I would not feel safe bringing my younger siblings here. In part because of the loose dogs, and in part because of their owners. **** I and several other witnesses filed a complaint and reported the incident to the city and park rangers, after a confrontation and threat took place here by a very hostile man with a golden lab. I encourage anyone else who has issues to report those who are confrontational/aggressive. No one should feel, or be threatened or intimidated, while simply trying to enjoy the park. A public park should be kept safe and monitored by security or rangers. It should not take other park goers to do their job, and have their lives put in danger. As an aside, I am a reserve wildland firefighter, born and raised in CA. My job is one of sacrifice and integrity for the betterment of all. I am new to this city. This park gives a very poor impression of the type of people who live here. Clearly, not many who truly care for the safety and wellbeing of others. read more

I love this park! Most of the dog owners are very nice and courteous and know other dogs by name. It's very open so there's tons of area for the dogs to run however there are no dog fountains or bowls so you have to bring your own water (which I do) I also wish there was a gated dog park nearby. But this is a nice alternative :) read more

I have been living in the "Antelope Run" housing track since 1998. (It is the housing track directly behind the dog park). I have seen the park change from being mostly trees and very rural to the busy under construction park it is today. There are dog groups that usually show up at 10 AM for the morning meet-up, and then at 5 PM the night meet-up. My grandparents, myself, and many members of my immediate family have been taking their dogs to this park for many years (especially because I lived behind it). WE LOVE IT. ANY person who says that any of the dog owners that take their dogs down to park are "hostile" must not be from around here. Every single "regular" that goes down to the park with their dog are respectful and aware of safety protocols. Most of the frequenters are families, older couples, and simple dog lovers. The only problem Ive EVER had in 18 years of frequenting Glen Arbor Park, is one's gentlemen's corgi licking my leg too much. WOW. read more
