Great for dogs, families, or anyone looking for a quiet place to unwind. It wasn't busy at all when I visited, which made it even better.

I usually come here and find the place empty (my dog loves it) . It is very open and clean. I recommend going before sunset due to the poor Lighting conditions. ( wildlife found here)

IRRESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS HERE!!! first time at this park, I…read morewent and nobody was there around 12pm. a while later This older couple comes in with their husky and let him off the leash, and the interaction is semi-okay but my dog isn't even a year so I made sure to keep him close since I don't know how he would act. He is generally just overly excited and wants to run up and greet but i don't let him yet. This couples dog came over and their dog kept trying to mount my puppy. All they did was say "no humping" and let him run around still. I should have known and took him out but I wasn't quick enough. I talked to the lady a little bit and her comments were just very questionable like as if because my dog is a pitbull that makes him the one in the wrong automatically. Their husky completely ignored them and then ignored me and even as my pup was right next to me with his leash , started to try mounting my pup again. my dog didn't like that and a scuffle ensued. I got bit in the midst of it all, and even as their dog had my dogs face in its mouth, they just kept saying "let go" and tried getting him back on the leash. My dog was pretty shaken and even after he stopped, their dog STILL came after mine and bit him in the leg and tried pulling and all they said was "let go of him" like it was no big deal. I was too busy making sure my dog was good and looked at my wound and by the time I looked back they were out the gate and already pretty much gone as the man's wife was saying "that's it," and some other things. before they walked away as i was holding my dog she had the nerve to say "you should still be careful of pit bulls.." and other nonsense. EXCUSE ME?! I did right by containing my dog and the nerve to try to blame it on my dogs breed when it was THEIR HUSKY who wouldn't leave mine alone. I have some good puncture wounds and the fact that they just left is completely irresponsible. I'm guessing it was their first time there like mine but to just leave and not even see if my dog or me were okay is extremely fucked up. My dog is a puppy, i've had him less than a month. He is new to everything after I adopted him from SB animal shelter, and so I wanted to introduce him to some new sights, smells, and other dogs. He doesn't really know how to act so when someone came in I put him on the leash since he gets overly excited. I did my part and felt I was being a responsible owner by making sure he stayed close and leashed even in the park. he doesn't even know aggression because he has never been exposed to anything like that. he is all play. I was by myself and the fact that they didn't even take responsibility. there was no sorry, just running away. The couple was an older couple, looked caucasian. the lady had a hat and sunglasses. don't remember the man too much. we were all talking and everything seemed to be "fine" but they didn't control their dog. I would have gotten their information but the way they left so fast and were already gone by the time I got up is crazy. I would definitely remember them if I saw them. My dog was so defeated, he has a small limp and I had to carry him partly to the car and inside once we got home. i'm very disappointed because it's my first dog and our first time at the dog park. I felt I was prepared to the best of my ability and I know some other people aren't as responsible for their dogs but it's common sense if yours dog doesn't know how to act you take control. This was a lesson learned and I hope that this can help others in the future. i'm more disappointed in the fact that they just left me and my dog like this and didnt even check if we were okay. they were only concerned with getting their dog out and leaving because they were judgmental about my dog and trying to place blame. I'm still in shock.

The Ranch Park is one of my favorites in the Big Bear City area. 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.

I don't mind but my son is allergic to dogs and it could start up his allergies which I then would mind. Also we set up a blanket on the grass and this grass has the tiny spikey balls in the grass so that was an inconvenience trying to clean that off. But overall, the park is clean, the other kids and parents are friendly and there isn't anyone here who isn't supposed to be which is nice.

I recently went on the weekend to use the restroom. There was no toilet paper there was no paper towels and there was no soap, including liners to use the restroom in the women's restroom. I already called the city and spoke to them about the issue. Something needs to be done. Other than that the park is a nice place. If they would maintain it it would be nice. Since our tax dollar pay for it. Nobody enforces the rule of picking up anyone's trash or anyone's dogs feces . I literally had to walk around all kinds of feces in several areas because it was full of the parking is not being maintained like it should. In addition, I have seen aggressive dogs and I have seen people let their dogs loose without a leash. Just because nobody is enforcing it doesn't mean people should do it. Everyone thinks their dog is an angel, but in reality, dogs can be aggressive, not all of them just some of them.

It is a crazy lifesaver when it's often 80F already at 8AM and you woke up a bit too late to ensure it isn't 90F out. The owners so far have all been friendly and the dogs are more-or-less pretty well behaved and sometimes play a lot. They are a lot of dog friends! My only gripe is that it doesn't feel too clean with the sand which I imagine that after enough poop over the years, you wouldn't be able to clean it to a sanitary level regardless. However, in terms of coziness, comfort, the view, the dogs/people, ambiance of just wanting to pass time and laze, this is a great option and one of the nicer spots I've seen after visiting quite a few dog spots. A plus side that isn't guaranteed at other locations is also decent amount of street parking.
