    Great place really open space for dogs and great place for people to seat and relax as your dogs plays

    little dog section
    Jenny T.

    This is one of the worst parks I've ever been to, HOWEVER, I do appreciate the dog park, no matter how sad this park looks. This ENTIRE park could use some serious grooming. Perhaps some new sow grass, add some lavender bushes, some colorful flowers, a few statues, a water fountain, nice trees and throw in some picnic tables? It's just a giant land of dried up grass with a cement trail. It's not very welcoming or aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. But onward to the doggy section... There are 2 segregated areas, one for small dogs under 30ish pounds and one for large dogs. Both sections have ample room to run, mingle with the dingles and play play play. I like that a lot! And the dog owners, so far, have been friendly and made small talk on our pooches. Dog owners love all dogs, of course!! The great thing about this park are there are plenty of benches to sit on to watch over your dog. There's a doggy water fountain and free poopy bags (don't bank on these, be sure to bring your own bag, as they run out). And I especially like the segregated play areas for small and larger dogs. I don't need to worry about big dogs running down my little dogs while I'm there. The bad thing are the patches of dirt and dried up yellow grass and of course the aesthetics of the entire park itself. And I did encounter a peculiar dog owner that may prevent me from coming back alone. The owner kept telling his dog to play with me, hug me, kiss me, sit with me... that was kinda weird and very uncomfortable. I liked the dog but not his owner, instead, I got the heevy jeevies! So, my recommendation, be on alert mode! But in the end, my dogs had a blast here and was able to release townhouse living energy here. My dogs wide open mouths with tongues hanging out and glistening happy eyes was all the look I needed from them... priceless! Happy dog, happy life, right?!

    I wish I had found this dog park earlier. It's so close to my apartment and I could have saved some money coming here instead of puppy social! The park is relatively new in Hayward and it is POPULAR with the dogs! I came on a gloomy day after the rain and there were a lot of dogs (about 8-10 at the big dog area). So if you want your four-legged friends to burn off some energy, come here. The other dogs will definitely tire out your dog. It's split into two areas, big dog and little dog. It isn't like Drigon Dog Park where there is an agility course, just an open field with benches on the side for the owners. There is a poo bag stand, but it was empty (so -1 star). Great place to chuck a ball or frisbee for your dog. As I said earlier, lots of people, lots of dogs. And most of the dogs are friendly! Minus a few because one was a humping machine trying to hump many of the dogs there, and one was just mean and barking and lunging at other dogs... but otherwise, your four-legged friend will enjoy him/herself. Parking.. lots of it. You don't need to worry. And bring a towel for your dog. Mine was covered in dirt, mud, slobber.. haha. Like Misty M said, there is no human restroom, so go before you come and pack poo-bags...

    Yay to this dog park. I finally got here after bookmarking it two years ago. My two 2 year old puts love this place. Lots of grass. Lots of benches, even with a shaded area covering it. Beautiful trees and very serene. No one was here on a Monday early afternoon. We had the park to ourselves. We will be back

    Long story short,,,,, nice park, very peaceful, and thank goodness the other dog owners pick up after their dogs.... I'm so tired of going to dog parks that are littered with dog poop..

    Sweet Pea exhausted lots of mouth-wide-open-panting, energy. Tired dog are happy dogs

    Nice little dog park frequented by fairly friendly pets and owners. Most of our visits were fine except for the couple of times when a poorly trained pooh incited a growling, fur flying ruckus. The small-dog area is grassy and the large-dog area is part grass, part mud, so be warned. Otherwise, there was space for my Sweet Pea to full on sprint for balls.

    We wish the city of Hayward would install some lights through here so we could see at 530 pm. For safety and visibility. So us regulars started bringing our own lamps. Not too well maintained

    This is probably my favorite dog park in Hayward. The place is bigger than I thought. Theirs two side for the dog, one side for the big dog and the other side for the small dogs. The dogs are very friendly, especially since it was my first time bringing my dogs to a dog park. I recommend coming to this place again and much more.

    We visited this park for the first time today as our local dog park is closed for the next couple of months. My furbaby seemed to enjoy exploring the small dog park, I found it to be okay. We visited at 8:30 am so there was absolutely nobody there, which I think is just fine with my little one as she seems to like to explore rather than play her first couple of times in a new place. There is nothing about this park that makes it really stand out above the rest but I can say that it is better than some that I have visited. It really is quite decent, it just doesn't have much personality. I can't really say that there is grass, it is green for the most part but what's there cannot be described as grass. I only visited the small dog park area (under 35 lbs area) so this review is only regarding that area of the park. The park was fairly clean with the exception of the area along the back fence. It was apparent that this was the area that dogs appear to slip their humans notice and do their business, or their humans are to busy to notice. (Please clean up after your dogs, don't be that rude person who thinks the rules don't apply to you!) I don't like my furbaby sniffing around other dogs mess so I cleaned up as much as I could find. That being said, the park does provide poopy bags and there is a sealed garbage can in the park. The small and large dog areas each have their own double gated entrance and there is also a single gate that leads from one side to the other. On the plus side, I love that this park has so many benches. There are plenty of seats to everyone. It's a decent size park, plenty of room to run around. The park also has a water fountain and doggy bowl. There are also picnic tables just outside the dog park along the path that runs along both the large dog and small dog parks. I love being able to meet up with friends for a play date with my furbaby and then being able to eat lunch together and visit the dog park. I will definitely be visiting this park again. I hope that there are some friendly doggies here the next time we visit.

    There's a lot of pot holes and dirt. It shouldn't matter but someone or someone's dog can or will sprain an ankle. I personally like turf, since my dog is white, she gets super dirty with the dirt. I really think they should put up light posts for nocturnal goers.

    Great dog park.

    The larger dog area is decent sized, big enough for me to throw crazy far tennis balls with my Chuck It and not hit anyone or have the balls go over the fence.

    Five stars because it costs no yen…read more As far as Japanese gardens go, this one is my least favorite because it is rectangular, with a visible metal fence perimeter, with ugly trash and graffiti visible from across the creek and no opportunities to feed the koi fish. Three things, though, that make it special is that they have memorial plaques, stray cats, and blowtorched wood for an aged and weather-resistant finish. From 1913-1962, the site was a practice site for farming and raising livestock for Hayward Union High. It became a garden by the late 1970s, and when dedicated in 1980, focusing on botany (with plants donated by local Japanese-American nurseries) rather than religion. Every first Saturday at 1pm there's a free lecture/tour. It's not especially beautiful or big (3.5 acres) or exciting (the few people I saw there were on their phones), but it's a peaceful, clean area. I think informational displays could help people enjoy it more. Or phone chargers. Information like, many of the wooden connections (including the main entry gate) have notches instead of notches to fit together like puzzle pieces. This more authentic approach prevents rust. Or, the garden uses the Shakkei technique: when you can stand at the highest point, the surrounding trees are meant to look like distant mountains, with specific plants blended with the Japanese maples and native Oaks to make the garden feel ten timers larger than its actual 3.5 acres. Or, the hand-selected granite boulders from the Sierra Nevadas are buried one-third into the ground so it looks like they are growing, which is why I don't manicure myself often. .
