Parking usually available in the…read morelittle lot or on the street, but you might have a little trouble during peak times: weekday evenings and weekends. There's a large dog side (to the left upon entry) and a small dog side (to the right). Both areas are properly fenced and have benches and communal water bowls. I think there's also poop bag dispensers on each side, too. We like that the benches are dispersed throughout the area so you can sit wherever the shade is from the plentiful trees throughout the park. For the most part, the other park-goers adequately supervise and pick up after their dogs. There's plenty of room for several dogs to run around at once without feeling crowded. It's pretty close to Long Beach Blvd, so you'll hear the occasional honking or bus driving by, but overall it's pretty quiet and peaceful (other than dog barking). We also love that there's a sidewalk from the dog park and parking lot that leads east to Scherer Park and duck pond, so if your pup still has some energy after exploring off-leash, you can take them on a (leashed!) short walk up to the pond.

And we do have a go-to dog park for occasions like this, but given an all-day free Saturday, I thought about checking out a new place. And that's how we found this spot. It is what most Yelpers say what it is: small. Prime (my fur baby) is more used to one of those large dirt and grass kinda areas. He enjoyed it anyway since he met new fur-friends and got to play with them for a bit. It worked out even better since my cousin met us there to bring his fur baby to a dog park for the very first time. This was a good first run for him - I figure it a good idea start him out in a small area to see how how reacts with other dogs and mostly so he doesn't get too overwhelmed. From the looks of it, it's safe to say that enjoyed his very first dog park run. Doggy bags and water fountains are provided for both pups and hoomans alike. There are also benches available. Parking is available, both private and street. It is very well maintained, but as small as it is, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Alas, as nice and clean as it is, we probably won't be back. It just isn't big enough for my pup to run around. However! If you and your pup are more into just chillin', then this is the place.

Cleaning their needles and stretching their rubber bands. We will not be coming back to this park or neighborhood area ever again. Original 4 Star Review: This dog park is tucked away in a neighborhood and has lots of big trees which creates awesome shade during a sunny day. There is a big dog park and small dog park separated by a fence. There is grass mixed in with dirt but it's a nice big area for dogs to run around and have fun. The water is outside the park fence so that's a bummer but not deal breaker. There is plenty of poo on the ground but it's mainly around the fence line so just watch your step. I'm pretty disgusted by the other owner that showed up to the small park (I'm in the big park). She literally dropped her dog over the fence and sat in her car for 15 mins talking on the phone. During this time her dog had pooped multiple times. She eventually went in but didn't pick it up. Filthy. Its not hard to pick up after your dog to keep places clean. I'm giving the park 4 stars and think it's a shame because if people picked up after their dogs it would be a fabulous park.
