Two fenced in areas, one for small and one for large dogs, make for a very safe and welcoming space.

Nice big space. Dogs and owners were very friendly. There's water and poop bags provided. There's also a few picnic benches. Ground is mulch/dirt instead of stinky fake grass. Would definitely come back if we're in the area. I saw one review mention a few years ago that the homeless had taken over, I did not see any. read more

Love this location, quieter than Heather Farms. And less gossipy ppl. My dog had a great time running around. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Martinez Dog Park - My dog in the "large" park - Dog Parks Near Me - Martinez, California

Martinez dog park is just wonderful. The dogs so far as well as the humans have all been well behaved and friendly. There is shade through out and picnic benches. It is very well payed out. There is also a space for small dogs (30 pounds and less). This area seems to be more popular. However my Lacy is a big dog. She loves meeting new friends. She would be rather be at the water but sometimes the tide isn't right. Martinez has done a great job with this spot! Way to make our little city even better! read more

Very nice place, well maintained and cool even on hot days because of the marina. Low traffic (at least in the small dog section) from what my experience has been so far, which is kinda unfortunate. I may have to try another park in the area as my dog loves other dogs and gets no interaction here :') read more

Martinez Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Martinez, California

Just to correct some misinformation! The supervised city backed homeless camp is in the amphitheater area and NOT in front of the dog park. You enter from the Yacht Club parking lot. I have never seen unattended dogs and the park is clean and safe. We enjoy this park every day with a bunch of large "puppies" that grew up together last year. My only gripe is on Sunday when families bring very small children in with food. Not allowed. ! MOST owners are responsible and supportive of people with young dogs getting used to being socialized BUT dogs need to be watched, this isn't an offshoot of Starbucks! Your dog is YOUR responsibility. Come and enjoy. read more

Martinez Dog Park - Leading the rules from an older friend - Dog Parks Near Me - Martinez, California

The reason I didn't recommend this park is because the park is gone. I took my dog there twice maybe in the last two years. I went there maybe 6 months ago.in 2023. I parked where I parked last time, I walked to where I thought it was and I never found it. They did away with it. The amphitheater is not being taken care of either. They had two major blues concerts there and everybody loved it. Sounded great. Miss both places read more

Our newest furry family member has his own super cool hang out spot. That is the Martinez Dog Park. We love bringing all the family down to play. Our kids get to run around and meet cute new dog friends. My dog gets to run around like a crazy person with all of his new friends. I get to meet so many new dog owners and of course talk about everything dogs. The big dog area is big and spacious with picnic tables for people and dogs alike. Plenty of room to run and throw balls for all your friends. This is a great addition to Martinez. read more

Be cautious if you take your pet here. The city placed a homeless camp next to the dog park and there is broken glass and injection needles all over the place. I won't be taking my pup back again until this is resolved. read more

Nice dog park. I take my dog there when I'm in the neighborhood. It's clean and has plenty of shade and plenty of parking. Good view of the bridges and waterways. read more

Friendly people. Lots of trees. Good place for my dog to run and play. Would like the fence to be a bit higher, but it's a really nice space. read more

So so excited to have a Martinez dog park. The added bonus is that it is just across from the waterfront. We take our dog here regularly and everyone is very respectful. Usually we see at least 3-4 other dogs in the big dog section. I love how long the sections are- perfect for fetching and playing catch. read more

Very nicely planned park. Not too large but lots of trees & curves shape makes it seem larger! Wood chips noot grass & could use a water spigot. People there were very nice with cute dogs. read more

Me and my roommate went with our four pups tonight and it was absolutely a beautiful place to bring the dogs. Beautiful views ,very nice people, and if you didn't want to be inside the puppy areas there's trails and things that you can walk on around the whole place. The only thing I didn't absolutely love was the ground cover which is wood chips and shavings and such. You couldn't see the dog poop to pick it up and it's kind of sharp and uncomfortable on the dog's feet. Other than that, there's trees and a water fountain and very nice dogs. It's also a stone's throw from my house so it's very convenient to take my furry family over there and on a cool day we could even walk there. read more

I wanted to like this park since it's so close to our new home, but it was a huge disappointment. There's a homeless camp directly in front of the park entrance and there were several dogs (assuming they belonged to people living there) in the fenced in dog park with no owner present. Guess they're using it as their own backyard? The park itself is fairly small and they've put wood chips as the ground covering. The drug deal we witnessed in the parking lot on the way out was the final nail in the coffin for me. read more

The MARTINEZ Dog Park is fabulous and the perfect setting for my five pound bundle of joy, Willie. The small dog area is so nice with ample shade and sweeping views of the straits. I love the water station and the poop stations. Most importantly, I enjoy meeting "dog people" - the best people around! Many thanks to the City of MARTINEZ for this lovely amenity! Who let the dogs out???? MARTINEZ DID!!!!! read more

Martinez Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Martinez, California

The best dog park around! There are two sections; one for small dogs and one for large. Both are pretty big with plenty of room for the doggies to run, and both have water fountains, poop bags, and benches. Lots of trees for shade and the breeze from the Marina make it fresh even on the hottest of days. Definitely a must-go for both dogs and humans alike! read more

I love this park!!! Me and my wife come here alot with our pitbull. Everyone we meet is super nice and friendly. Martinez dog park is way better than heather farms. Everyone there is so negative about our pitbull "king" read more

The Martinez dog park is a hidden gem. There aren't too many dogs there (sometimes none, unfortunately), allowing my new dog to become socialized in an environment that is not overwhelming. The park itself is nicely elongate to allow long ball throws. The bark on the ground keeps it from being muddy. It is a great alternative to some of the larger dog parks in the area. read more

I have been to most of the area dog parks and this one would be one the more quieter ones. No grass here and hidden behind the yacht club. Has lots of shade and is adjacent to the marina. read more

Wow! How happy are we (my pup Jo and I) to have this new dog park in town. Not only is this an amazing addition for the dog loving residents of Martinez (who had to go to Concord or PH before) but this is a hidden gem for every dog/ dog owner in the Bay Area. The park is by the marina, next to the Martinez Yacht Club (since it is kind of hard to find right now) and has a beautiful view of all times of the day - particularly at sunset. There is a view of the Benicia Bridge from the whole park (both parks but this review is focused on the large dog park) and views of the sunset with marina/ boats peaking from the north eastern side of the park. Nice bay breeze coming in. The park is mulch - which is amazing because it prevents digging and needs less upkeep than grass. Most importantly my dog is SO happy to have a dog park in her hood. She ran and played and checked out every inch of the park! People and pup approved. read more

Best dog park in Contra Costa County. Nice large fenced in areas for both small dogs & big dogs. Plenty of trees for shade on sunny days, close to water for those Delta breezes, benches to sit comfortably to chat with other doggie parents while our "kids" play, water fountains for both humans & dogs, doggy bag stations to clean up after your pet and good parking. Definitely our go-to dog park. My dogs & I love it. read more

Sooo happy to see this finally happen!! The cool breeze and views are amazing. Love all the shade too.

RAVE - Took Riggs and Dexter (2 dogs) to the new dog park for the first time. We were impressed! It's huge! Beautiful trees! Plenty of trash cans and bags. Forgot to bring water and was glad to find a great doggie drinking fountain. Two tired dogs on the couch tonight! We'll be back! read more

The Martinez Dog Park is a wonderful place. Close to the marina, there is often a cool breeze on warm days. It has plenty of shade, benches, and picnic tables. The benches created by Eagle Scout Chris Wendy are really great. My dog loves it here. Hope more people discover this hidden treasure! read more

Izzy and I went to opening day at the new Martinez dog park; great location next to the Yacht Club. As I drove through Marina Park, I was reminded what a beautiful area this is. Park has plenty of parking, shade and picnic tables. The views are stunning and the temp is at less 10° cooler than Paso Nogales. I think this park is going to become a great community meeting place. It has a cool vibe and the people and pups we met today were super friendly. Downtown Martinez is very dog friendly and I think many people will be eager to check out restaurants, bars and shops. The fact that it is open 7 days a week (except Monday am) is a real plus. The ground covering is bark and will definitely need to be maintained so it doesn't create a lot of dirt and dust. But it dries out faster than grass so you will be happy during rainy season. read more

Love the new Martinez dog park. My dogs love it too. Perfect location and great people.

They did such a good job with location and setting. Always a breeze from the bay. Plenty of shade trees and picnic tables. Poop bags and drinking water are provided. Making this park a welcome addition to our town. Oh! And, my dogs loves it, too. read more
