We were regulars…read morefor a while until October 2023 when our Corgi got a hot spot that needed vet attention and shaving, her fur has grown back so we'll probably be going on the regular again. Sundays starting around 10am there's a Corgi meetup. Most of the owners are nice. There was one day where someone brought out an aggressive dog the owner wasn't correcting, and the other dog owners had no issues telling the guy to remove himself and his dog. I also have a Del Monte Weekly Corgi meetup group on Facebook with a lot more pictures if anyone wants to see pics of Corgi's in various stages of play.

When I mentioned that one persons dog had done his business,his response was Are you the poop patrol? He then proceeded to keep talking. What a bunch of entitled a**holes. No one in his group seemed to care. I walked around and witnessed at least 3 other dogs doing the same with no owners around. I love the park,but I can't come here anymore. Hint if your not part of the old people klick, expect to be ignored when calling them out.

This woks out so well because the large dog park allows the dogs to run, play, and horse around. (It's so fun to see all the personalities of the pups come out) Occasionally there will be an owner pet combo throwing and fetching a ball but for the most part the humans socialize with each other and the my pup will seek out his buddies too! If your pup is on the smaller side or maybe skittish around playful dogs, consider using the smaller dog park side. Both parks have a walking track for those who prefer walks and plenty of benches for folks who just need to recoup after a long day. There is plenty of parking and lights! (Perfect for the long nights in the fall/winter time)

It very well maintained, and there's lots of good investigation sniffing for her, which she loves. My only complaint is the front gate is getting stuck on the pavement and that makes it hard to juggle dog, dog stuff, and walking cane, coming and going.

This new dog park is listed as "Piedmont Road dog park" under Google maps since it is technically…read moreon Piedmont Road but also connected to Penitencia Park. The park is divided in two: big dog and small dogs. Its mostly just dry dirt with some tanbark along the edges. No poop bags are provided however, there is a spot for some tennis balls and a water fountain along with a big bowl. Theres 4 benches mostly parked under the shade of big trees so you can expect a bit of seating. Parking right next to the dog park is pretty limited as it's mostly just street parking along Piedmont Road. No food or drinks are allowed and people, for the most part, follow the rules. Sometimes people bring their medium/large dogs into the small dog park so do keep an eye on your dog. The park is pretty well kept and clean throughout despite no bags being provided. Most of the people who frequent this park seem very kind and warm. If you have a social pup, I would come here and check it out.

This is a very new dog park! It officially opened around summer of 2024. I heard the residents of…read morethis area are very happy about it since the next closest dog park was in Santa Clara? I briefly visited from out of town for a breed specific meet up so my experience is not that of a regular. Pros include the spaciousness, real grass, bench seating, mature trees providing shade, trash bins inside the park area including poop scoopers, and a water fountain/bowl. When I went the water fountain wasn't working. I did some research beforehand. (Google Maps calls this the Piedmont Road Dog Park. I don't know if that's the official name.) They don't have poop bags either. I think these drawbacks will likely be remedied in the future. I've seen at other dog parks the community members step up and install back up poop bags or bring in stainless steel troughs for the water. In the meantime, bring your own bags and water! The one thing I really did not like was the parking situation. Piedmont seems very busy. There isn't a parking lot to pull into. I drove past the park initially. It's street parking on Piedmont with some areas of the curb being red or green. The solution would be for someone to park in a lot inside the park (another entrance) and to walk to the dog parks. There's also a shopping plaza across the street and residential streets nearby if you don't mind crossing the street. The real grass and mature trees/shade are really rare for a dog park! I could see this place being five stars for someone that lives in the area and is more experienced with the parking situation than me.

We came here a couple times during the pandemic and this part (1 of 3) dog parks were closed off at…read morethe time. I'm glad they opened it back up! The other 2 (small and large) dog parks across the walkway were a decent size as well, but all dirt and gravel. Our huskies wanted to sniff that area, since their seemed to be ground squirrels or moles living in the other dog park too. Hahaha This grassy side was nice and clean-free of dog poop and even had some chairs for people to sit in. We always walk with our puppies, but the chairs were a nice touch as well. It's $6 for a day pass to park at this park and/or the larger park around the corner with a playground, reservable table sites, a lake and water play structure for the children to play in. So $6 and if you bring your own food, one could play/hangout all day here! Hee. We'll be back!

Such a beautiful park!!…read more I've had Delano Manongs Park bookmarked for quite some time and as time passed, I honestly forgot about this place. With an upcoming play date planned between myself and a gf, I was happy that this particular park was picked for our meet up. First things first, this park is MASSIVE! Delano Manongs Park is broken into 10 parts- YES, I SAID 10!! This includes a small and large dog park, multiple gardens, a fitness station, and a number of play structures to keep all your little munchkins happily occupied. The park is very well kept, the restrooms are very doable, and with its large size, there isn't that congested feeling you get with other locations. On top of the many perks, there is a large field to kick or throw around a few balls. The only flaw- and might I add that it is a big one- is the lack of actual shade. Your relief from the sun's powerful rays is limited to the gazebo where the benches are or using the large flower structures as a shield. 5/5 stars all in all. This is lots of fun for kids of all ages.

For a dog park it's one of the bigger parks I've been to. It has both a large and small dog side. Both sides have water and 2 poopie bag dispensers.

Each side has half dirt and half fake grass.while there the people were friendly.one lady even took some time to pet my dog, which he loves . I didn't realize that the Los Gatos creek trail came down this far south. This may become my new starting point when we walk the dogs

There's also a sizable playground, a few picnic tables and park benches scattered throughout, a cement walking trail, and at least one restroom. I came by during Viva CalleSJ this past weekend so there were a bunch of porta potties too, as well as food trucks and vendor tents set up. I picnicked under the trees, enjoying some good eats from Shrimp'n Aint Eazy while listening to live music by the San Jose Jazz Collective on a breezy Sunday afternoon. Nothing really notable about the scenery here, but it's a nice enough park and a lovely setting for events like this.

The grass is never moved ,it's full of foxtails. I realized that the park doesn't provide poopie bags. But people should bring their own. I walked around the perimeter and found stacks of crap. The people here aren't very concerned about other people's dogs. A lady with a aggressive medium size dog left the large side. She thought it was a good idea to come to the small dog side. I guess she thought it would make her dog feel better to bully smaller dogs. The last straw for me. WARNING bringing your dog here is a risky.

However, this dog park is unfortunately dirty from other visitors. There were several piles of other dog's business all around and there was a heavy smell emanating from the park's trash can. I wish the city would spend some more time to help ensure this space is kept well for us dog lovers! Overall I think it is a nice spot for dogs to get some energy out, but I don't think it's meant for the little guy I was dog sitting.
