The only reason I'm giving this place two starts instead of one is because the people I met there - locals - were nice people.

For anyone visiting Big Bear who…read morewould like to visit a park but not deal with tourist-heavy areas, The Ranch Park is such a wonderful spot. Located in the back of a residential area, the park features relaxing energy with some beautiful nature / mountain views. If you're looking for a place to see the famous Big Bear Wild Burros (donkeys), they are often roaming around this neighborhood, especially if you take Lakewood Drive to the back of the neighborhood. Sometimes they can be seen wandering around The Ranch Park, especially when it's early in the morning or late in the evening and not super crowded. There's a really nice fenced in dog park (The Ranch Bark Park), but also lots of other features including a playground, climbing rock, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a ADA-friendly walking path. Parking has never once been an issue in all the years that I've been visiting this park. There's a large free lot in the center of the park, as well as an additional lot across the street, and other places in the neighborhood where you could park on the street if you needed to. No structured bathrooms, but lots of porta potties that are regularly checked and usually pretty clean.

This is the second time going to this park where big dogs where in the small dog side. The first…read moretime there was a regular older man who had all his large dogs in the small dog side. He appeared to be somewhat of a conversationalist. He saw me hesitate and yelled, "come on in". I seen other big dogs in there and since no one was in the big dog side it appeared he was telling everyone to merge to the small side. I waited for a minute to observe what was going on and overheard him telling a young man that "sometimes rules are meant to be broken". It was a waste of time and gas for me. Just a note:, I adopted two small rescue dogs from the kennel and they are manic panic whenever they are near Large dogs which is why I bring them to the small designated side of the dog park until their trauma and recovery subsides. The second visit I noticed a very large Irish setter sheep hound type dog in the small dog park. Unfortunately, I had to say something as I wasn't about to turn around this time at the expense of some else's convenience. As the owner walked past me with his dog he said, "my dog doesn't like other bid dogs" . I replied, "I'm sorry to hear that but neither do mine so I am sure you van understand". Perhaps the city can post a sign at the entrance to enforce this rule in more detail since some people appear to feel they are above others?

Not even 5 minutes later, his dog took my puppy playing as a threat, and bit his head and nose. The owner of the other dog suggested we don't take him to an ER as it would be too "expensive", but did offer to cover the vet as he felt it was his responsibility. Eventually he only covered half the bill after consulting with his friends. If you see an older male with two big dogs (Airedale Terrier & Bernedoodle) , don't even bother taking your dog into the same side. He may come off friendly, but he's not that reliable and neither is his dog.
