WARNING UNRESPONSIBLE PET PARENTS!!! Okay let's get into it. I've tried this place out multiple times throughout the years since it's the closest to me. Let's start with the dogs park environment- It's not the biggest space but they do have space for both small and large dogs. The small dog park looks clean but the large has holes dug all in the middle making it hard to walk around and poop that hasn't been picked up. Overall it's not the worst, theres two benches that get shade to sit and watch your pup. Now unfortunately let's talk pet parents in the area and the environment for your dog. There has been regulars I've seen there and they have AGGRESSIVE dogs. Mainly these 2 huskies and an austrian shepherd mix. They have clear dominance and resource guarding issues. I've unfortunately seen this happen more often where people bring in aggressive dogs off leash. I've brought both my older dogs and my German shepherd pup who's only 7months. My puppy was bit 3 times unprovoked ( luckily it didn't break skin) while I working on recall training (we weren't around other dogs) and the owner didn't even apologize. I had to keep telling the one of the husky's to shoo bc his body language was already telling me he was going to bite my dog and the owner once again doing nothing. I bought a basket muzzle on Amazon just in case for my puppy (he has never tried to bite but can be nervous at times) but these unresponsible pet owners let their dog be a bite risk. It cost $20 and some work from the owner to prevent this. I had to tell people that their dogs aren't friendly and I left. This past time I went was my last straw and for now I will be trying other parks in my area. PLEASE ALWAYS ADVOCATE FOR YOUR DOG!! Side note: there is a group of older men that will hangout under a bench with shade their dogs are so friendly and playful, these are the type of pets I hope for my doggies to be able to interact with. There's also a baseball field that can be accessed behind the dog park and is separated with a gate. read more

So found this dog park on yelp. We went early morning and I was unfortunately not impressed. It had dog poop not picked up and was muddy. They do not maintain it at all. It was a big area so that was a plus. I wouldn't go back. read more

The absolute worst of the worst dog parks. Crap and trash everywhere. Nothing but an old baseball field with no sun and no trashcans. Don't even bother. You can go but you'll take a chance of your dog possibly stepping on needles or catching some virus from all the crap everywhere. Stay away! read more

Very patchy grass, poop left everywhere, broken wooden benches.... This place seem very forgotten about. There's also a plant that's probably blooming but it smells disgusting. Good thing about this place was that there was actually plenty of dogs for your other dogs to play with. My dogs are not really dogs that like to play with other dogs they just like to walk around and mingle but not really run around and play. read more

I live local so this was my very first dog park. I have to say, after coming here it inspired me to go visit dog parks all over the place and in comparison this is probably somewhere right in the middle. - space (enough space in both large and small dog sections) 4/5 - floor (almost completely dirt with lots of holes , dug up) 3/5 - cleanliness (majority of people seem to pick up their dog's poop but on occasion you see some bombs. Dog bowls available here are pretty rundown, benches and tables are filthy from dogs jumping on them) 3/5 - owner responsibility (most people seem like regulars here, on occasion some of them have slightly more aggressive dogs that they don't seem like they have a good hold on but overall, the regulars are all friendly enough) 4/5 At least during winter, seems like 3:30-5pm is a decent time to come read more

I took my fur baby here for the first time and he had an amazing time. I hate how some people write a bad review after having just one experience here. I understand that there are some bad owners out there but I wouldn't let those rotten apples ruin this gem. Yes, it isn't the best dog park out there but it's a decent and local one with some really nice regulars. This dog park has two different areas. One for the larger breeds and one for the smaller one. There are benches and tables around the park and there's also a water fountain right outside the gates. I myself have a Cardigan Welsh corgi so I tend to stay in the smaller dog area. The area with larger breeds tends to have a lot of huskies and german shepherds so there's so much energy going on around there. I would say a lot of negative reviews come from that side of the park. From my experience in the smaller pen, the owners were very responsive and friendly. They all want to talk about their dogs and make new members feel more at home. There's plenty of parking around the park. The reason why I knock off a star off this place is because of the lack of funding when it comes to replanting more grass. There seemed to be a lot of grass but also random patches of dirt or even mud. A good thing about this park is that they have free poop bags on hung on the fence just in case you forget yours at home! Overall, I can't really complain too much about this place. I plan on coming here more often so if you notice a blue merle cardigan welsh corgi, he's probably mine, so don't be afraid to say hi! read more

Ummmmmm by far the worst dog park I've been too. Just a giant patch of dirt. No one is regulating how many people go in or out especially with covid. I've been to dog parks where they would only allow 15 ppl at a time. Some little kid who was unsupervised kept grabbing dogs aggressively. Even grabbed my puppy and dropped and stepped on him. A ton of little kids go inside to touch and play with the dogs. Worst park. My poor dog got injured. I rather drive a little farther and go to a nicer cleaner park read more

We've been taking our little guy here for a few months now and he loves it! He's been making friends with everyone! We usually go around the same time each day & see the same people and pups. Our little guy is over a year old now and loves to play! It's great socialization for him and let's him run around with other dogs. The dog park is great! It is divided into 2 sections: large & small dogs. We are usually in the large dog side with the huskies, German Shepards and other bigger breeds. The large side is very grassy with some tables and benches scattered around the perimeter of the park. There is a cemented walkway that goes around half the park so you don't have to walk thorough the grass. The dog park is located inside a larger family park. There is lots of parking surrounding the park & it also offers a playground for the kids. Recommended! read more

My dogs love to play here and I really like it here. Just wish that all these stupid people would read the damn sign that says, "ONLY SPAYED AND NEUTERED DOGS ALLOWED" and would get their damn dogs fixed. WTF people........ get your dogs fucking spayed and neutered. There are DYING homeless animals in animal shelters and your stupid arrogant ass doesn't even want to pay the few bucks to fix your damn animal????? People seriously need to get their shit together and wake up. read more

I am so glad I found this dog park. It's 12 minutes away from my house and conveniently located off Irwindale and Rowland. I took my dog recently for the first time. Although she was shy, there were other friendly and playful dogs there! Nice owners as well. For me personally, it was relaxing to let my dog loose so she can get play time with other dogs! There are tennis balls and dog bowls for water. However, I may donate some new tennis balls because they are old and dirty. No treats or dog food allowed inside due to other dogs getting aggressive over food. I'll be coming back again. Especially because this is the closest dog park to me. read more

Horrible dog park. Owners bring their pets without collars or harness. My dog was attacked by 2 pit bulls and they couldn't pull them off of him bc they didn't have collars or harnesses. read more

Took my 2 girls here. They have sections for big dogs and small dogs. It's a combination of human and dog park. There are things for everyone. Tables to sit and have bbq, swings for kids and water play ground. Overall it's a nice place to bring your human and dog family. As per parent, I did not like the fact that some pet parents did not pick up after their own dog poop. I almost stepped on some. Haven't brought my girls lately after she gotten sick. Vet told us to stay away from there since my girls are too small. They are a min pin (Precious) and apple head Chihuahua (Muneca). Hope to return soon. read more

It's great to have another park in the area. So far really clean and grass is well in tact, but it's still brand new so time will tell how well patrons will keep it clean. The large dog side is bigger than I anticipated, with a large cement tunnel in the center for dogs to wander through and jump on top. There's a fire hydrant for dogs to do their business, and poop bags right beside it. A cement walkway goes through the park, which is lined with lights (not very bright). And two picnic style tables are on either end. My biggest complaint (along with the rest of the people we spoke to) was that there was no water for the dogs. No fountains, no buckets, not even a spigot for water. We used a bowl that we keep in the trunk for purposes like this, but finding a functional water fountain or sink in the park to fill the bowl was a task. If and once water for the dogs is installed the park'll definitely be a 4-star. read more

Be careful! Carry pepper gel spray! There was a sketchy mexican male with neon green pants waving around a machete threatening another male. Machete-guy drove his car onto park's lawn all the way up to gate entrance and taunted the other individual. People here need a life. read more

This review is solely for the small dog area of the dog park. I've brought my dog Shadow (chihuahua-terrier mix) here several times and he only seems to enjoy the area for a short period then is ready to head out. There are usually one or two other dogs in this area compared to many more dogs on the large dog area when we come here but Shadow doesn't really do well with large dogs. There is not much grass on either sides and there are a few toys and dog bowls scattered around. In the end, the fact my dog isn't as social as he should play does play a factor, but he can still enjoy the play area. A nice dog park in the area that is convenient for fellow neighbors. read more

Not a good park. Been here a few times and owners are terrible here. Don't look after their dogs, poop everywhere, dogs digging deep holes everywhere, seen multiple fights and alot of bums in the area. Just go to either san dimas dog park or fletcher park in el monte. read more

Even if it's lacking a lot of greenery I think it's cute how there's toys and water bowls scattered around the dog parks for the dogs to take from. Pretty average I would say, sectioned areas for large and small dogs with poop bags available. There is a children's playground right next to it so you can bring your kids too. However if your dog is into lawns of green grass like mines. Just walk them around the tennis courts! Free parking out on the street. read more

This is my go to dog park whenever I am short on time and can't go to better ones(Pasadena, San Dimas etc). This dog park lacks a lot of green. It is mostly dirt. So if you're OCD about your dog being clean(my dog sometimes gets out covered in dirt after play), I seriously don't recommend this dog park for you. There are plenty of toys(balls & frisbees) lying around the perimeter for dogs to play. This park also has multiple dog waste stations throughout with bags to pick up after your loved ones. That being said, I still find myself avoiding land mines and even walking with my phones flashlight turned on at night in order to avoid an unpleasant mess. The people are generally very friendly here. And you can tell that most of them are dog people, which is a huge plus. You know what I mean. BUT, there are the occasional dog owners that feel the need to take the role of 'CEO of the park'. Another downside is that some owners bring their small breed pups into the large breed section...I am no Ceasar Millan, but I KNOW that bigger dogs will most probably bully and mess with the smaller breeds if given the chance. Its a dominance thing. This park is also HEAVY on the husky population. If this is something that you try and avoid, then this is not the park for you. That being said, I take my 8 month old lab mix pup here pretty frequently in order to socialize and start learning behavior from the older dogs. He has a blast every time. Cool dog park with some obvious and serious downsides. read more

This is a great place to take my dogs. It's clean, well maintained and pleasant environment . Good location also. Even on very hot days it is well shaded and cooler temps. read more

First time here since the place I usually go to is down for maintenance. I brought my little chihuahua here for some socialization and exercise. The off leash dog park has 2 separate sections, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. The small dog area is kinda, but big enough for the smaller dogs to run around. The park is a mix of grass and dirt. They have poop bags conveniently located inside, which is greatly appreciated. The people when I went were very friendly. There are some benches to sit on while your dog goes wild running around. When or if your dog gets bored, you can walk around the rest of the park. read more

Not the biggest park but good enough for Hercules to run/play wild. There's a big dog area and little dog area. The little dog area has 2 table/bench area for people, one of which is under a big tree with shade. A few communal dog bowls to share as well as toys laying around. Hercules got extremely dirty and had to take him to the groomer but he enjoyed every second there. Wish there were some agility equipments as well other than the one old tunnel. read more

I really liked this dog park and the people in it. Most of them are responsible dog owners and watch their pets. My puppy made a lot of friends here. Sadly, he was attacked by a dog and the owner did NOTHING to stop the attack. She ran around screaming like a moron. I had to pull her dog off of mine. I have a 4 lb Yorkie. Thankfully the damage was mostly superficial and the vet bill was not that big. The dogs owner promised to pay the bill but only paid $40 Come to find out, this dog had attacked other dogs and bit a few people as well. I no longer go to this park because this lady still takes her dog there even after several incidences. She told me "that's why I fixed him" when I told her that the dog was aggressive. Obviously, that didn't work. Be careful for this dog and this lady. She's not a responsible pet owner. read more

This needs to be cleaned up big time! It used to be a lot nicer now there's always a spot where a sprinkler has burst and there's water everywhere and since there's hardly any grass its very muddy. I m not sure who puts out the dog bowls but they need to stop my dog got kennel cough after visiting here and licking one of the bowls. She isn't around any other dogs so I know she got it from there. The space might be too big because no one watches their dogs or cleans up after them which makes it really dirty and trashy. It could be better if it was maintained but as for now I wouldn't go back. read more

Finally the grass is coming back!!! Everyone is suoer friendly. I havent seen the sketchy people that i would see hanging out in the near by benches. Plenty of parking. Recomend coming here read more

Central Bark Dog Park - Ghost basking in the sun on top of one of those doggie ramps they have - Dog Parks Near Me - West Covina, California

This is the first dog park that my dog and I have been to. We had a great experience. My dog was a little defensive and skeptical at first but there were a lot of different dogs there that were sniffing my dog and he loosened up a little bit and started to play with them a lot. It was really fun to watch my dog play and have fun with other dogs. The owners of the dogs were nice and friendly to communicate as well. This place has a small/ medium dog section and a large dog section. I noticed that there were medium sized dogs at the large section though and there was a moment in time when a group of big dogs were bullying another big dog which was sad to watch and all the owners at the big dog side were just watching their dogs and not doing anything about it. The bullying at the large dog section made almost all the small dogs stop and look at the big dogs too. Anyway, I'll be coming back to this dog park since its the closest one from where I live and would want my doggy to meet more doggys too as well. read more

I used to love taking my dogs there. But be careful if you see a skinny bony white labrador, and a brown dog with it with a chick. that dog will attack your dog. That dog, the skinny white dog attacked my German shepherd three times. the lady didn't even do anything she stood far away. I had to push the dog off and she didn't leave the park. I had to leave, and when I was trying to leave, the dog attacked mine again. It is a good park. Just be careful if you see those dogs there with the lady. read more

Came here about a month ago with my GSP puppy. Since she was only 2 months old at the time we followed park rules (no dogs under 4 months) and stood outside to watch the other doggies play. As we were watching, this guy comes in with an American Staffordshire Terrier, and lets it go inside the dog park. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe the dog is very well socialized and isn't aggressive towards other dogs (they are usually aggressive if not socialized properly), but sadly, that wasn't the case. The Amstaff darted towards each dog individually to attack them (there were about 3 dogs in there at the time) all the while the owner ran after the dog whipping him with the leash yelling at him to stop (he was also spraying it with a spray bottle, while he was begging for him to stop). He obviously could not control his massive dog, and had no business bringing it to a dog park. Some people really need to be educated on dog park etiquette. I don't know if they enjoy watching their dog dominate and attack other dogs and use it as some form of entertainment or for ego-boosting purposes, or are just plain ignorant. Other than that incident, the dog park seems pretty cool. Bring plenty of water, and please watch out for irresponsible dog owners like the one i saw, i am sure there are may of those out there. read more

(Review based on 4.5 stars) Came here today with my 3 dogs (yep, I said 3 dogs...the family is growing) and my husband for the 1st time. This park is actually pretty nice and clean and plenty of green grass for our dog babies to roam and play. Like other dog parks I have been to, there is 1 area for large dogs and 1 area for small dogs. In previous yelp reviews, people had mentioned about no water in the dog park. Well when we got there, there were plastic bowls in the park with water already in it (obviously some nice person decided to donate them and let it be used by every dog that comes in here). So no water in this dog park is no longer a problem (although I did come prepared with a bottle of water for our dogs and a little portable water bowl). We came by around 1:30 or 1:45 pm and there were a handful of people and their dogs (all small dogs though). The group of people seemed to know each other fairly well and seemed a bit cliche- ish (or pack- ish since we are talking about dogs here... for non dog people, dogs like to get into packs and bond...). Anyways, in both the large and small dog park area, there are cement tunnels for dogs to run through, as previously mentioned by another yelper. And yes there are dog bags as well (but I only saw these in the large dog area). I wished there was light here so that we can come after dusk, but oh well. This park is enclosed in a regular park for kids, located right next to the spaceship shaped playground. There is also plenty of parking around this park as well. Overall, another new nice dog park to take our dogs to. read more

Recently, I just took my little Happie here!! She's a energetic white terrier mix. I have to say that navigating to this location was fairly simple, and there was an abundant amount of parking. The dog park is actually encapsulated and located in the middle of the park. When you first go in, you'll notice a division between larger breed dogs and smaller dogs. There are gates that keep the dogs in and let them roam around freely. Overall, the environment and experience here was very pleasant. There are potty bags at the side of the gates, and benches/tables for owners to sit. I highly recommend this dog park, and I will definitely return in the future. read more

The dog park has 2 sections. One side is for larger dogs and the other smaller dogs. The smaller dog side is a good size area. There are two tables and one bench for owners to sit down. There are two trash cans and people even bring bags and have them tied along the fence for people who don't have dog bags. People even leave dog bowls and toys inside the park for other dogs to have. Which is very nice. The park has parking on the street along the sides of the park as well as a parking lot. I like coming to this park because it's very close to my house and people here actually pick up after there pets! read more

I didn't have any real terrible experiences here because I've only been here a couple times. Glad to say I didn't meet any irresponsible owners during those visits, but I still prefer not to come back because there are better dog parks out there. This dog park is set right next to a playground, so I can see how one reviewer would complain that kids might see this as their personal petting zoo. During one visit, a woman took a few kids into both the small and large dog sections to "see" the dogs. She monitored their interactions with the dogs, but I still felt it was rude to the dog owners because yes, this is not a petting zoo, plus she didn't even ask the owners for permission to pet the dogs. Some dogs may not even do well with kids, so there's that to consider as well... But anyway, I used the small dog section. It's spacious enough for small dogs, I suppose, but it can feel kind of cramped during peak hours with all the dogs and owners. There also aren't that many places to sit. No dog fountains and the dog bag dispenser wasn't filled. There are some toys around for your dog to play with, but the ones I saw were pretty beat up. It's an okay dog park, but I prefer to travel a bit farther for a better dog park. read more

Overall space for small dogs and big dogs is great. There is plenty of water and even benches for the owners. Most people follow the dog park etiquette with the exception of the few. There is always waste bags stocked and parking is easy. However, I have had 2 isolated incidents where my dog has thrown up after visiting the dog park. I thought it was a coincidence until my 2 other neighbors went with their pets and same thing happened. Now, my pet isn't eating other pet waste and is up to date on vaccinations. Maybe there is chemical sprayed By the city or exact opposite and there's too much bacteria there ....?... Stopped going for the reason, vet said can of pumpkin for his upset stomach. After a day or two he was back to normal. Not worth having a pet with upset stomach read more

Ive grown up coming to this park and was surprised to see this here. Anyways its a decent medium sized dog park. Separate areas for small and big dogs. There are a few benches and tables and some trees for shade. Free bags are available but it could use a few more station imo. The water fountain is outside of the fences which can be annoying to fill up the bowls. But atleast bowls are provided. Ive been here once or twice around sunset where there has been a lot of dogs. Other times in the morning and weekday afternoons it can be pretty empty. read more

At first I thought "Finally, a dog park close to home", but after the experience i had, i'll never go back again. I have a super sweet Doberman Pinscher, he's not aggressive and loves to play with other dogs ... anyways, we walk in and he starts to play with a cute husky and out of nowhere, this Pitbull just charges at him and pins him to the floor trying to fight him. My Dobie didn't fight back and just played docile (did I mention he's a sweetheart?) I'm trying to break-up the fight and the stupid pitbulls owner just stood there and did nothing! Maybe he got a kick out of the fact that his Pit got a huge doberman down, idk, he was an asshole. The people that go there don't give a sh*t and are rude and most are gangsters with their Pits. I'll stick to my regular dog parks (Monrovia and Pasadena) where the people are nicer, have more well behaved dogs and might i say, a little bit more upper class. read more
