What a great dog park! I don't live in Redding but was passing by with my dogs and stopped here. Such a huge space with toys, water and a nice view to enjoy. There was about a dozen dogs, all friendly and well mannered. I like how they have two sections for small dogs and large dogs. Lots of space for parking and is right next to the main road. Make sure your dog is on leash till you get inside. read more

Perfect little dog park to get the pack out while on a long road trip. We were there in the spring- our dogs found some mud puddles.

EXTREMELY UNSAFE PARK I moved onto placer street a few months ago and began frequenting Benton dog park nearly everyday. These are some huge and dangerous overlooked issues pertaining to the park. To be clear, there is a sign outside of the park that tells owners to enter at their own risk, and just a few common rules below that. 1. There is a "small" dog park and a "big" dog park. A portion of the big dog park sits against ( the very busy) Placer Street and has proven to be extremely dangerous for dogs that do not have good or complete recall skills. I have seen numerous dogs run into or across this road. 2. There is a large hidden homeless encampment that sits in the ravine north and northwest of Benton Airpark and individuals, usually under the influence, traffic through this area frequently, often having violent episodes or are committing crimes. 3. A small amount of the pet owners that frequent this park are elderly and have mental health problems or are actively in drug addiction, known to say depressing bizarre violent and upsetting things unprovoked. Sadly, a smaller percentage of them have large, untrained dogs and cannot physically restrain or handle the dog whatsoever. Always keep an extremely close eye on your dog at this park because of this reason. 4. There is little to no cell reception in the area and the times I have urgently needed to call animal control or emergency services I had to walk outside of the park to get a connection. Probably due to the large Airpark that sits just outside the little dog park. Good luck even speaking to a respectful and responsible animal control officer in Shasta county... 5. Most of the pet owners here have not properly trained their dogs yet and they don't understand their body language and communication skills. These owners tend to be hostile or defensive when trying to suggest healthier techniques, as well as not possessing the physical capacity to restrain OR ability to recall their dog. there are often disputes and conflicts between pet owners at this park and people often take to social media groups to post their complaints whether they are true or false. A large majority of these pet owners abuse their animals in plain sight, for owners that are educated in proper training, this is very hard to watch, and it never stops occurring. In short, each day there is a different strange or violent occurrence at this park. Im not sure if it just has to do with the culture of Redding, but there is a lot of passiveness towards these encounters on the end of the park goers. If someone is beating their child or dog in the park, everyone will turn the other way. I have seen some horrible things here and have been absolutely stunned by the amount of avoidance coming from the people that frequent this park. There is no accountability. Be careful at this park, a lot of these people are extremely twisted and argumentative. read more

It's large and hilly. Our large dogs wore themselves out and made some friends. Per usual with dog parkery there was quite a bit of poop that owners failed to clean up. There are lights for night time and it looks like they require 4 quarters for an hour; we were only there in the day time so I can't comment on how well lit the place is after hours. Small dog park right next door. Bring your own bags! read more

Awesome top of the hill dog park with plenty of shade and is decently private. Airport is nearby for a cool view and scenery! Dobermans rule!! read more

Such a fun park for us and our pup! Even though it was 107 degrees out, this park was nice and shady with beautiful grass and hills. They have a hose and big water tubs and pools for pups to get cool in, and benches and tables for their humans. All the dogs were really nice too! A great stop for a road trip. UPDATE: On our way back south from our trip, we stopped again. Today it's 110 degrees and super smoky, and it was still a worthwhile stop! Pup had fun laying in a tub of cool water. read more

Redding Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Redding, California

There I was, slightly weary from my drive, and anticipation of the mountain passes that awaited me the next day as I made my way from Northern California into Oregon on my way up to Seattle. I decided to stop at this park, especially as it seemed to be one of the few in the area. It is on a hill and compared to La standards it is big, but compared to Oregon and Washington State Standards it is average size,. This place is well fenced-in with two entrances, and a water station which included a kiddie pool that the dog seemed to be jumping in and out of. That was quite entertaining to watch. It has two areas, a small and a big so if you are nervous about your dogs, don't fret, you can go into the small side. We ended up staying a lot longer and notice it actually got busier as the evening got later is fine by me. All the people seem to be regulars, and everyone looked after their dogs and very friendly to me. My dogs had a great time once they are done sniffing and figuring out the layout of the park. Which was nice for me. I will definitely be back on my way back down! read more

My husband and I were on our way back from San Francisco to Seattle; we needed a place for our dogs to run around and go potty. We loved this dog park. It was nice having 2 huge areas for dogs. Depending on the size of your dog you can decide which side is best suited for your furry friend. There were benches and tables to sit. They had plenty of water bowls and 2 plastic like kiddy pools/ bowls. When we got there everyone was very attentive to their dogs. Coming from a long road trip stoping by here was a great. read more

Redding Dog Park - Corgi and German Shepherd in the car - Dog Parks Near Me - Redding, California

A nice dog park! We stopped on the way up north and found it to be helpful to tire the little guy out (a Schipperke puppy). The Redding airport borders this dog park and the airport cyclone fence does not reach the ground so chihuahuas and other toy breeds might have a problem with this, but others that are, maybe, 10 lbs and up should be okay. Fortunately? There is asphalt on the other side of the dog park so digging underneath is one less thing to think about. Trust me -- I have seen it all since we go to dog parks every day, with an average of 3-4 hours each day. Water, hose, double gated - although one of the gated sections is shared with the big dogs which can be problematic. But, if you can just see it coming? Just wait til other people/other dogs clear on through and then enter or exit the park. (it is not about intention -- it is, sometimes, about being small and concerned about getting hurt, and then the big dogs reacting -- and sometimes other things) This dog park is on the far side of Redding (or is at least through waaay too many lights that waited to turn red just as I got to each light), but is worth the drive. It has a large "all dog section" and a very nice sized "small dog section" (this was a pleasant surprise since often times little dogs get the short end of the stick when it comes to dog parks, or not represented at all). read more

At least Redding has ONE dog park. There are several places in town where you can walk your dog, on leash. Here, at the Dog Park, you can let you dog off leash and RUN FREEEEEE. It's rare to find an unfriendly dog and usually if someone's not behaving, the owner's usually remove them right away. There's water, doggy bags and a few trees. There's a couple picnic tables to sit at and people have brought plastic chairs and a couple broken down benches. UPDATE: Now there's a fenced area in the park for little dogs. read more

We were visiting from out of town and my pup was very anxious about getting some exercise! I was so happy to find a dog park but felt a little nervous after reading the reviews! We got there and he loved it! Lots of room to run, lots of trees for shade and a beautiful view of the mountains! We visited twice and both times it was after the rain so it was a little muddy. Just a heads up. It was cool to watch the planes take off while the doggie enjoyed play time. Every dog he played with seemed to be pretty friendly, however the owners all seemed to be....not friendly. It seemed like people brought their dogs here to run around alone and if another dog tried to play with them, they quickly called their dog over. I've never experienced that before. All in all, my dog loved it and the dogs that he did meet ( and was allowed to play with) were the sweetest! We will be back if ever in Redding again! read more

Truth: This dog park is smelly and it seems like there is an inordinate amount of poo that isn't being picked up by other dog owners. But...it is in a beautiful location and there is a good ring for people to walk on to keep their shoes safe from dung bombs. Added bonus: right by a small scale airport for small planes. read more

Tilly enjoyed herself here. Nice and clean and the dogs were friendly. The owner of one of the dogs was an ass by urging his dog to "get her". That's why we have dog parks and not ass owner parks. read more

We stopped with our poms on the way to visit grandkids. There were several locals there with their dogs and all of the dogs were mellow and caused our neurotic poms to be mellow. It was a perfect stop read more

I really wanted to like this dog park. It is in a pretty convenient place, is shady, and is fairly spacious. However, I spent the entire time I was there picking up dog poop from all over the park. It was so gross. It's as if no one who brings their dog there cleans up after their dog. There's no way that my dog could have run all around that park without getting poop all over his paws. read more

1. Nice big no leash dog park. 2. Volunteer poop bags in different areas of the park. 3. Fence separating big and small dogs 4. Grass in most of the park. 5. Dog and owners appear friendly and pick up after. 6. In Big dog park: large bin of water & water fountain 1. Only bad thing: No human Porta-potty or restroom read more

I've been taking my yellow lab pup to work with me for about a month. It kind of puts a crimp on lunch options, but one good option is to take the dog to the Benton Dog Park (that's the official name) and phone in an order to Señor Rosa's (I get a "Humm Baby" chicken burrito, the pup gets two $1 carne asada tacos) while the pup stretches her legs and mingles with other dogs. If I were a younger and single man, I would absolutely use the pup to meet chicks. The young lady who was there today with her dog was lovely. Alas, I am not single or young, so the girl was treated to an example of all the "game" that ol' Buzz can muster at this point: Her: "Hi." Me: "Mmm." But the dogs have no use for such April/October awkwardness. To them, it's all green grass and chase-ass. The best part of the day if you're a dog spending most of your day in your human's office, I'm sure. read more

Stopped here on a road trip from OR back to the bay area to let the dog get some well needed rest/fun from the car. It was decently busy on a Sunday afternoon with around 20 folks with their dogs. Event though it is right next to the airport it wasn't loud. Even watched a few helicopters land and take off. You can definately tell this park is maintained by it's regulars. Grocery store plastic bag holders and large rubber drinking tubs. The best feature we saw, that no other dog park has, was a (storm or sewer)drain right by the faucet. It really keep down the mud. The people were friendly and of course some didn't have as much control over their dogs as we would like, but that's pretty standard. read more

My dogs loves.the leashless dog park. The area is well finced and devided into a big dog and a small dog area. Well clean and the people and dogs were friendly. read more

Straightforward cool lil chill spot for the four legged critter to run, stretch the legs and Sniff some ass. Decent open spot with others owners who were all friendly and respectful and managed their pets well. read more

I love taking my little lou here. Never had any issues with any other dogs or owners. No one picks up their poop. Just know before you go.

I love it here and may I say the dog does too. If you're looking to just be around friendly people, this is the place to be. Every time I'm here I can't believe how friendly people are-- defiantly not the typical Redding norm. There is two big water troughs- 1 for drinking and the other most dogs just jump in to cool off. There is also a water hose to fill it back up. Lots of grass, trees, and chairs to relax under. Lots and lots of space. My best piece of advice is if there are no dogs when you pull up wait at least 10 minutes and people usually show up. read more

What a nice dog park. We were traveling through Redding & needed a place to let the pups stretch their legs.

Big and with grass! I've been to more than 20 Dog parks in California and this is one of better ones. Couple of big water tubs for hot days; water in them gets a bit gross but dogs sure love them for a cooling spot. Seems like it's a couple acres or couple football fields. read more

Great locations Has: Small dog park separate from the large dog park. In the evening a $1 worth of quarters can turn on lights for an hour, near the north gate. Dual fence entry. They always seems to be tennis balls in the large dog park area. I just bring a chuck it and hunt for balls to throw. There is plenty of room to throw full out a chuck it in multiple direction. People and pets here are really nice. Mind the kids and how they interact with other people's dogs. There are chairs and shade to sit in while dogs run around A water fountain for people and large water containers for dogs. Seems to be plenty of plastic bags to clean up dog messes. Trash cans are also there to throw away the messes. No food or treats are allowed in the park. This is just not a good idea, unless you are alone. read more

Love this park. If one wanted to walk, one can walk around inside of fence which is a quarter mile according to my map my walk. Nice people there in the morning and a great place for dogs to learn to socialize with other dogs as well as people. There is a nice large tub for dogs to take a dip in. read more

Love this park. I have a One-year-old German Shepherd that is packed full of energy. It is great to be able to get her out to socialize with people and other dogs. Most of the owners are friendly as well as the dogs. It's a good size area and there is a hose to fill up water buckets for drinking or playing in. The only downside is no human bathroom. read more

Pretty spacious and clean. Seating available, water, bags, and desperate areas for big and small dogs

Stopped here on our roadtrip back to WA with our 6 month dobie. Well worth the stop-- a bit off I-5, but is a park that is well maintained and relatively clean. Read: don't be afraid to wear sandals. Bring your own poop bags or use the scoopers provided. There was also a fenced area for small dogs. There is shade and benches available. The watering station had a kiddie pool and stainless buckets for watering the pups. read more

BE CAREFUL!! Lost one dog after spending almost $2000 to save him. Just spent over $500 on new dog with very similar issues. Both happened the same day as visiting the dog park. Both were up to date on all vaccines. read more

Located on the corner of Airpark and Placer is a great place for doggy playtime. With a secure fence and more than enough room for your dog to run Benton Airpark Park is the ONLY park in Redding that allows dogs do be off leash. All dogs I have encountered have been friendly and well socialized. The secure fence is a NECESSITY and I have never had problems with my dogs escaping.That is saying alot being as they are Chihuahua's the don't need much of a hole to get out of. Beware of the park on RAINY days beause it can become quite a mud pit. read more

3.5 stars for this nice doggie park in Redding. I was happy to visit in September and find green grass, doggie wading pools and happy well socialized dogs for my puppy to play with. Its not too far off I5 and if you are traveling with your well behaved canine, this is a great place to stop. read more

I have been going to this dog park with my basset for about 4 years now. She loves it and I have had mostly positive experiences there. However, there are some things that everyone should know about that are factors in me deciding not to go back. The mud on the small dog side is toxic. There are broken water pipes under the ground that have caused these mud puddles (sink holes) and even in this heat they never dry up because of the constant flow of water, I'm guessing from the sprinklers. The mud has oil and jet fuel run off from the airport next door. My dog had been eating the mud and became very very ill. I had to spend $400 at the vet due to the sickness eating this mud has caused. Here is the problem, no one is coming to fix this issue. There have been many calls made to the phone number for repairs and no one has responded, meanwhile it just gets worse. The last time I was there you can visibly see that the mud looks like an oil slick. Besides the sickness factor the oil and mud is hell to get off your dogs fur. Beware when you take your dog here. It has always been my dogs happy place where she gets to play with her friends but due to the health issues, she will no longer be able to play there. Too bad this city does not know where to put its financial resources. This park needs help before we will return. read more

This is such a nice dog park with separate sections for large and small breeds. The large dog section is especially nice with trees, hills and benches making for a nice place to let your dog(s) get out some energy. read more

Everyone was nice, clean, plenty of bags left by other visitors, multiple water bowls on a paved deck, nice shaded area and plenty of chairs

Great stop off point, when we are traveling between Oregon and the Bay Area.

Big park sectioned into small dogs and all dogs. Our dogs were able to run around freely and park also had bowls and water filling stations for the dogs. read more

Good dog park. Nice green grass everywhere and overall a large park, both the small dog side and the big dog side. I like that they have hoses and water basins for dogs to take a dip in. It would be nice if it was a little more developed ie paved cement walkways but I guess that's more of a city thing. read more
