    Very clean dog park. They have complimentary poop bags and dog water fountain. It's split between big and small dog areas. The people are friendly and everyone makes sure they clean up after their pup. So glad to have found this gem.

    So sad that we have a great little dog park and OWNERS are NOT picking up their dog poops!!! I came here often and I feel like I am the pooping pick up for all the dog owners. Please PICK UP your dog POOP!!! We finally have a remodel dog park with grass, and dog owners don't appreciate!!! I have met owners from all neighborhood, all very nice people! But why do owners think is okay not to pick up your dog poop!!! Very annoying!!!

    I rarely frequent this part of the city, so was not very familiar with the location of the park. It's pretty much located around a lot of houses and near an underpass; lots of street parking, and gates that seem to carefully close behind you so your dog won't run out onto the street without you. It's quite ideal if you want your dog to get some exercise and you want some fresh air as well. Since there are gates and fences to enclose your dogs, you don't have to worry about them taking off on you! There are two sections to the dog park (as well as a whole jungle gym area for kids in another section) where one is for smaller dogs that require the dogs to be leashed and an unleashed section for the larger dogs. My smaller section has more hills and benches, while the unleashed section has a big area for the dogs to run and catch balls and toys. There is a water fountain and there were two plastic bins that I ended up cleaning and filling with fresh water for all of the dogs. There aren't any dog poop bags, but there are shovels for you to ... carry the poop to the trashcan? And a few scattered benches for people to sit on. Overall I think this is a pretty nice dog park. It's not the nicest, but the area for the dogs to run around and exercise in while still being fenced in is really big. You don't have to worry about them escaping or running off (although keep an eye on the gates as your dog might slip through!); there are lots of trees which enclose one end of the park that isn't gated in. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite busy. There were maybe about 6 other dogs in the unleashed section, but people come and go. The park closes at dusk .. and there are people who don't clean up their dog's mess so watch where you step. I unfortunately stepped in dog poop and ... was wearing sandals. Not the best choice of footwear.

    Smaller than I thought but about 40% shade. Not the best for an super active dog. Pretty clean, some dog poo laying around but not bad.

    Glad to see a dog park open for our pups. Most of the dog owners here are responsible, but, as always, there are a few who aren't. Several benches for sitting. Several trash cans and the one by the entrance usually has poop bags.

    Hit there twice with my dogs lately and felt comfortable obviously comparing to the previous situation, and it's good to come back often since it's new and close to my place.

    Love this park 2 separate gates for small and big dogs. Always Plenty of dogs to play with

    A unique, clean dog park situated under a freeway overpass... While I wouldn't take the most sensitive nervous-nelly type pup here (because of the loud noise from the freeway and busy street), it was fun to sniff around in all the nooks and crannies and investigate the many trees and plants. For being such a bright warm Thursday afternoon, sadly there were not as many dogs around as one would think. So I am doing my part to advertise this seemingly underutilized good sized patch of grass and odd cement/dirt area off leash dog playground. There wasn't a spare tennis ball in sight, but luckily I brought my own toy to play with. Too bad I had to share it with the two other bored dogs that were there. Oh, well. At least I didn't have to share the one and only little water dish available. I guess the other dogs couldn't work up a thirst since there was only the one ball to play with... The small dog area was completely empty all the while we were visiting the big dog area. It too was an odd mix of cement and grass. Jenny L.'s directions are helpful. Park on 2nd street or in the parking lot near the end of the field.

    Is the dog park open again? Last time I went they were remodeling.

    Yes

    Is this place still open? I see a lot of construction going on

    I have a small puppy chihuahua and I want to know if it is safe to let him run lose at this park? Will he be able to run out or is it completely and safely fenced so small doggies won't run away?!

    Your puppy should be ok. It is fenced off with a side for big dogs 30 pounds and up and small dogs which is dogs under 30 pounds. The fence is ok for holding in most dogs but I have seen a small chihuahua who is able to sneak between a gap in the… 

    Hi, what time does the park usually open?

    I believe it's around 8-9 am. When Parks & Recs takes off the gate lock. It is also closed a few hours one day a week for clean-up. There is another park in Pasadena not that…

    Been coming here for years upon years, a solid dog park for the locals. They separate the dog park…read morebetween smaller and large dogs which is a good thing to see to avoid any extensive harm, etc. It's often pretty clean here but occasionally, you'll see dogs poop and people not being responsible picking up the poop. There's some obstacles around in both sections but dogs don't really use them. Not much shade around, people usually stand by the wall or sit on the benches. There's a couple tables in the big dog section though with umbrellas for shade which is nice. The big dog section is certainly way bigger than the small dog section. They're able to explore more, and sniff around all around. PROS: - Small dogs vs Big Dogs section - Big space for big dogs to roam around - Free poop bags - Water fountain in both sections CONS: - Sometimes too dirty - Puddles after rain - Not sure if water is clean - Lots of sand which causes dust up that can cause damage to dogs eyes Overall, a decent dog park, not much to do besides watch your dog roam around. My wife and I have met plenty of friendly dogs here and also a decent amount of non friendly dogs. Usually owners are responsible but you'll often find that sometimes there's dog owners that are just on their phones and not watching their dog.

    Adequate local dog park for socializing your dogs. There are separate yards for large (over 25 lbs)…read moreand small (25 lbs or less) dogs. The section for large dogs is bigger than the section for small dogs. Poop bags and water stations are available in both spaces. There are a few benches and tables in each area as well. This park is fairly well-maintained, although it could be better. Most dog owners that I've run into seem friendly and responsible. However, there are some owners that are completely careless and do not control their misbehaving dogs. Watch out for some of the huskies that are brought here (they can get aggressive). Hours are supposedly 7am to 7pm everyday. However, I have run into multiple instances where they have not opened up yet even though it was past 7am. It would be nice if they opened the park in a timely manner.

We ended up renting a large picnic shelter and it is actually in high demand during the summer time (rented out in June for an August date). Despite a very warm day (mid-high 90s) the shelter kept us relatively cool. The kids loved the space-themed playground and the large shelter can host up to 180 or so people whereas the smaller shelter can host up to 50 or so people. (+): experience with renting out the shelter- benches were clean, employees were nice (+): amenities of the park- tennis courts, large walking area, multiple parking lots, basketball courts Overall, I would come here again and also consider renting out the park shelters.

They have a designated walkway for people who are running/walking, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball courts, playground, and spaceship in the middle. It's newly renovated which makes the quality a lot smoother than before. Restrooms are available as well near the courts and also near the playground area. Parking is plentiful in parking lot but can fill up quick. Street parking is also available for free. There's 8 pickleball courts, which fills up quick these days. You can queue up with your paddles when it's full. The pickleball community here is great, on the weekends there's people who manage it voluntarily which is nice for newcomers. Overall, a great renovated park, very clean, friendly people, and spacious.

After an afternoon of reveling with family and in-laws during USA's Independence Day at my oldest niece and nephew-in-law's new (and first) home, we all ended the holiday at the city's annual 4th of July fireworks show at Monrovia Library Park. A 13-acre park (daily park hours from sunrise to 10:00pm) with a bandshell, drinking fountains, outdoor fountain, playground equipment, statues, walking trails, and more, in proximity to Old Town Monrovia. Now that I had a reason to be in this city, I expected to further explore the area. Did we have an explosive time at Monrovia's Library Park!? PURCHASE(S) None to speak of; we just enjoyed the great outdoors and watched the fireworks! THE EVENT Used for several purposes throughout the year, this was their annual 4th of July fireworks show. Here were some notables: ~About 20-minutes of bright colorful exhilarating explosions in the night sky, it was an impressive presentation especially for a small town. ~Because the crowds were already large at the park itself and parking/traffic was horrendous all around the park, we found a perfectly good spot barely a block away to take in the spectacle. ~The sound system was still booming enough to be clearly heard from where we were observing. SERVICE In this particular case, because we were offsite as we admired the festive fireworks, we didn't experience any service directly tied with the event. However, in the parking lot where we were, the business associated with that (I wish I could remember the business) provided folding chairs, which was so kind of them - thank you! PARKING (Varied: N/A this instance): We simply walked a casual 15 minutes from my niece and nephew-in-law's home to a favorable site to view the fireworks. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drags of Myrtle Ave., E. Palm Ave., S. Primrose Ave., W. Lima Ave., and all surrounding roads (I didn't notice any lots) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A public space filled with greenery, trees, places to relax and sit, plenty of people-watching opportunities, and nice neighborhood views as you dreamt away. There was plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors while electric street lights filled in once the sun went down. Generally speaking, outside of special events, there weren't any TVs while the chatter of conversations and the sounds of vehicle traffic (patriotic music played in the background for this event). ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We were generally appreciative and surprised of the annual 4th of July fireworks show at Monrovia Library Park, and we wouldn't mind returning next year. Additionally, they held music festivals and other local events at this facility, which I would like to attend in the future. I honestly had no idea what to expect onsite, but I'm excited to find out. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    I have been to the Monrovia Library Park a couple times. It's a really big park with old statues…read moreand benches. Lots of grass area for sitting or laying down on blankets. During the holidays, this park is decorated in correpondence to the celebration. Pretty cool! Quite peaceful and serene, too! Love the nostalgia atmosphere that it brings! The neat part of this park is that it is situated in front of the Monrovia Library. Its name is so fitting in that case. On Friday nights, they have their Monrovia Street Fair & Market at this park. Please note streets will be blocked and street parking may be limited. I would recommend parking closer to Foothill Blvd or in the Foothills Plaza. Please offer your support to the businesses within the plaza if you should park there. Thank you!
