    Love this park. Right next to my house so the location is perfect. Friendly dogs and my german shepherd puppy loves to play here. They have a small and large dog play area with toys. Many places to sit so you don't have to stand the whole time. Water is available for doggies too!

    Decent dog park. Sometimes people bring there large dogs to the small dog side which can cause issues. There reasoning is "but I have a small dog too" Don't put my pup at risk for your own purpose.

    I have now taken my dogs to this dog park a couple of times and they love it! It's nice and clean. They have a big and a small dog area. The watering spot for the dogs on both sides are nice with nice big pebbles. The whole thing has grass and spacious for the dogs to run till their hearts content. Some days the dogs can get a little muddy ( I think it's because of the irritation system) but they get grass so it's well worth it.

    Good dog park, a lot better now that it was closed to seed the grass. My dogs would come home with TONS or stickers/thorns I would have to spend an hour getting them out of all 3 dogs. But only 2 stars to the people.... I have small dogs 10lb, 12lbs and 16lbs. I had my 10lbs dog ran over 3 times by the same dog at least 60lbs. Luckily he did not get hurt other letting out a cry. Owner did NOTHING!! So now we see big dog we leave... There are 2 areas Big Dog and Small Dog. If all the dogs are the size of your dog's head you don't belong in the small dog area. Tonight 4 full grown German Shepherds were taken into the small dog area running and jump all over. I had to leave with my dogs so they would not get hurt... Even though the sign says "Small Dog Area" so sorry their dogs are pansies and can't play with dog their size and they have to ruin time for small dog in the small dog area.. 3 pet parents grabbed their dogs to leave because of them...... 😡

    Large dog parks with almost no shade and not much seating.Grass is good as well as clean. Two areas. One had a man but no dog. The other empty. Some people enjoying the large grassy slope outside of the off leash areas. 07/16/22.

    I wish there was a little more to this park. There are fenced in areas for large and small dogs. For some reason the small dogs get the larger area. There is of course water taps for the dogs, but other than that, it's just an open field with a couple seats and a couple small trees.

    I never worry about dogs biting me as they are fenced in.There are minimal drug users now that the tunnel is closed. It's alot safer than Cortez park or others for example

  • 5/5 Jordan K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Love this places. Been coming here for years. And I love how they have three separate dog park areas that you can take your dog to

    This was an amazing park. I wish there was more shade but my dog loved the open running space.

  • 1/5 kristina h. 6 months ago on Google
    People with out their pets on leash out side the fenced in doggie area...sucks getting charged by dogs out of control.

  • 4/5 JoJo G. 5 years ago on Google
    This dog park seems to be getting better with the new lights it is such an improvement! It's so hot during the day and before going at night was not an option for a single woman. So thank You! The park is well maintained and larg enough for a good number of dogs.

  • 4/5 T D. 7 months ago on Google
    Two large dog runs, one for smaller dogs and the 2nd for bigger dogs. The owners manage their dogs and all seem well acclimated to other canines. Get out early during the summer, 6-9a are the busiest hours as the weather is tolerable for your furry family.

    Great park, good ppl, has water and sitting area, huge play area that is split with small and big dogs.

  • 5/5 robert b. 1 year ago on Google
    Great small dog park. Located off cave creek and Grovers. Only draw back at this park versus others is there is only one gate in and out. My dog followed a lady going out. Then another person opened the gate going in at the same time. Not so much the fault of the park, but if you do go be mindful of other dogs coming and going

    I really liked this dog park but absolutely do not leave any valuables in your vehicle at all. My car was broken in to in broad daylight during busy hours. Unfortunately I no longer feel safe taking my dog.

  • 4/5 Mitchell K. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favorite dog park in the city. It’s large and has good shade at certain times of the day. It’s not too busy if you go at off-peak times. The park is usually well-maintained. Of course, you’ll always have some loser owners who don’t care to watch their dog at any dog park. My only complaint is there should be more lighting to feel safer going in the evenings. One light post in each park doesn’t cut it.

  • 4/5 Jill D. 1 year ago on Google
    There are two large fenced-in areas at this dog park, one for small dogs and one for large dogs, each with a two-door staging area for entry, garbage cans periodically around the perimeter for easy doggy bag disposal, a water spicket and bowl, and various plastic chairs and metal benches for the people. It was fairly busy at about 8:30 on a Saturday morning and it seemed like a lot of the dogs and people were friends, likely all visiting at the same time regularly. Somebody said there are stickers in the grass, which is the only downside as far as I can tell.

    Trying to socialize my chihuahua. He hasn't been around other dogs too much. Good to interact with other dogs that are not aggressive and makes him less aggressive at the same time. People and dogs are all pretty friendly. It's good exercise for both of us also.

  • 4/5 John E. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of space. Not much shade, but trees have been planted . Has ♿ parking but there is a slope between parking and the parks. Separate small & large dog parks.

  • 3/5 God Is Good All the t. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park...BUT ....lots of folks breaking into cars in the parking lot...be sure to hide all valuables! Wish they would water grass in winter, and plant trees that are native to AZ so they don't keep dying. Such a waste of time and money....they have been doing the same thing for over a decade......wish they would change...but some guys do the same thing..... trees die so there is little shade. :(

    This is a good place to being your dog. The enclosure is a nice size rectangle. The issue is that it's not well lit. At night it gets dark because there us only 1 lamp. Would score higher if it was better lit.

    There are two off-leash enclosures. One for big dogs and one for small. Outside of those is a sizable on-leash area. Most people are really good about picking up after their dogs too, but do bring a flashlight if you're going there pre-dawn or after dark. There is another large greenspace basin across the street too. It's used for kids' soccer but it also has a paved sidewalk down in the basin of you'd like to have a safe place to jog. The parking lots are small but there is plenty of on-street parking available around the edges of the parks.
