If you're looking for a dog park literally in the middle of nowhere, with bonus sketchy vibes and "ghetto" surroundings, look no further--this is your spot! Sure, the area is not the greatest, and the locals are definitely... interesting, but once you get past all that, this dog park is kind of a hidden gem. The park itself is huge. Bigger than most dog parks I've seen, which is impressive. My only gripe? No trash cans outside the park. Super inconvenient for people like me who prefer to keep their dogs outside the fenced area. That said, my pups had the time of their lives frolicking in the grassy areas, which are surprisingly nice and well-kept. Everyone there seemed to mind their own business, which, let's be real, is a blessing. If your dog needs to burn off energy and you're in the Hemet area, this park is as good as it gets. Just keep your wits about you, and you're golden. Five stars for the park; minus 2 stars for the surrounding vibes! read more

I went to this dog park this morning. There were multiple piles of dog crap , the enclosure and benches smelled like urine and the water fountain didn't work. The outside the dog park the grass is green and it was pretty nice. read more

the dog park is nice but there were a lot of untrained dogs that would nor listen to the owners and the owners don't seem to care we did not stay long read more

These are not the pictures of the dog park. The park has no grass. The city poison the grass a couple of years ago because they did not want to water it. Also there isn't a separation of small and large dogs. I know of two small dogs that were killed by big dogs. I have a large dog. There are several large dogs that are wild daily. , my dog is kickback and several dogs ran over her while she was lying down tearing her right knee. She walked on 3 paws afterwards. She is now recuperating some surgery that she had a week ago. , she had a metal plate on metal screws placed over right knee. , many people also do not pick up after their dogs. read more

Oltman Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Hemet, California

I'm so happy that Hemet decided a couple years back that it was time to open a dog park - and so are my pups! I can't seem to find the address for this place, but if you go to Cawston & Eaton Ave in Hemet, there it is on Cawston across the street from the Tahquitz schools! It's pretty big, not the biggest I've been to but nicely sized. Today was the first time the park had no other visitors, so it was just me and my babies frolicking on the park grounds. There's a center gazebo with benches for the owners to mingle at, a message board, a dog "clean up" post where you can grab a bag to clean up after your dog, and fountains planted in the ground so that your dog can drink after their sprints. Overall, the owners are very respectful and responsible. I haven't seen one (knock on wood) attack happen here like I've heard of at other parks. It is, however, only ONE park, where large and small breeds go together. The rules are posted on the outside of the gate (both a north and south entrance), and include the typical "no aggressive dogs" rule to the more simple "clean up after your pets" rule. A year or so ago, the grounds were kept very green, but since then it has dwindled to mostly dirty with spots of grass. But the dogs don't mind. read more

Fun little dog park, I would give more stars but there is no grass it's just all dirt. I think a dog park should have a grass.

Decent place to go with your pup. Everyone I've met here has been really nice & they clean up after their pets. I like that they have free plastic babies on site to encourage the clean up. Be very careful near the far ends of the park though. The ground is very uneven and the grass deceptively covers this up, so it could be easy to twist an ankle. Also, the water fountain on the far side from the street doesn't work, but the other one does. read more

This park could be a little more clean and they need a separate area for small dogs, maybe some grass or trees inside but overall it's pretty decent. For a free dog park it's nice, and better than nothing. I go there pretty much daily and my dog loves it. read more

Fine with me. You just gotta figure it out and be easy going. The park is pleasant. People can be pleasant. I'm sure there can be unpleasant people, but oh well. It seemed fun for the dogs. read more

I take all four of my dogs to this park. Despite what others have written in the past about how negative it could be and was, I went anyways. It has two water features that work and are easily accessed. And it may not be HUGE or overly large it's a pleasant place for all dogs of size and color to mingle. I take my large American Bulldog/ Pit Bull Sharpie/Lab and Maltese mix dogs. People didn't get angry or scared at his "looks" and he's a LOVER he had so much fun playing with the large and small dogs alike. It's not big but it's just enough and the people are polite. It's over all an excellent dog park in my opinion. :) I loved it and will continue going for sure. I strongly recommend taking your fours egged pal :D read more

Very small and unkept. Do not recommend this park I have a pit and obviously my dog is friendly if I'm bringing it to the park. People tend to judge don't go here they are ignorant read more

small too many people! I have a pit so people tend to judge (ie pack up & leave when they see me coming with him) truth is he's nothing but a big baby I wouldn't have him let alone bring him to places like that if he wasn't a big lover! So next time don't be so quick to judge read more

I read the reviews but decided to go anyway. I'm glad I did. The place is pretty small, and nothing special other than being close to home. All the people that were upset about dogs being judged by breed should give this place a second shot. I took my doberman (he's cropped and docked so if any dog is going to get judged for being "scary" it would be him), and there were zero issues. There was also a pitbull, and some other shepherd and terrier mixes. Talking with people there, it sounds like there are a couple jerks that show up every once in a while, but it is public so that is like any public park. All the regulars that were there that night were friendly and nice. I'll definitely be going more often. read more

Just went today to check this dog park out and we really enjoyed it. Not too small and we really enjoyed it... Great to have a dog park near our home. read more

Completely ghetto! no grass...no separation from the large and small dogs..had two pit bulls try to jump on, dominate, and bully my smaller dog and the owner just laughed it off..and one person swung the gate wide open with no respect to anyone else's dogs trying to escape..I had to chase my dog down the street with cars coming because people are beyond idiots...rule number one is to watch when you open the gate not to let any dogs in or out but your own... worst place ever..doesn't surprise me for hemet. I also want to say that I have nothing against pitbulls and I don't want to offend anyone on here. But I do believe that if you bring your dog here you should be mindful of dogs playing and be aware of warning signals of aggression/behavior during play. My dog was not used to the type of rough play and the owner was not respectful of it. Just my experience. read more

Small but decent park in a nice neighbirhood. Doggie drinking fountains, shaded gazebo with benches, potty bag dispenser. Pets and owners were friendly. The grass is dead a full of weeds but that is typical of a Southern California dog park. read more

Although this isn't the most fancy and well kept dog park. It's close to home and I enjoy taking my bulldog. The other dog owners are very friendly and welcoming. It's a convenient local place to go take ur dog to go play as you watch and talk with other people. I've gone about 5 times and def will continue going! read more

Just moved to Hemet and we took our two dogs here once but won't be going again. Horrible place - don't know how they can call it a park - just a stretch of fence in dirt and mud. The people who were there at the time seemed pleasant enough and we had no trouble with other dogs, but it's just too grim a place. Since dogs are not welcome in any other park in Hemet, you'd think they would make some effort with the one and only dog park, but no. Starting to think this was a really bad move. read more

my dog is happy with coming here any chance she can get, and loves to run all over and meet new friends here. read more
