This is one of my favorite dog parks. I drive from Buena Park for this place. There are always a lot of people and dogs when we go. I've never had an issue and our dogs love it. read more

I love this dog park. It's well maintained and simple. My dog loves it. Enough space for the dog to run around.

Such a clean dog park!! There are soooo many balls to use here if you don't bring your own!! The baskets on the side are overflowing on Tuesdays, when they ask dog owners to put them away for the lawn mowers. There is usually a few lawn chairs out for people to use, and maybe four or five benches. Part of the park has a bit of shade from a few large trees in the corner, but it's mostly open. There is a water fountain for both dog and humans. Parking can be hard on really busy days, even though it's fairly large. If you come on a weekday it's usually less busy. read more

Park is clean but small dog park has no grass due to no water. Most people are very aware of what there dogs are doing

Came out to the reopening of this park. With a few simple words it's.... simple & gorgeous. There's ample space for many dogs to roam and play. Even with the crowds today of the grand reopening the pups had all the space in the world to be happy and run around. The new water fountains are a nice touch since they double for human use so both you and your little friend can stay hydrated. Waste bags are well spread out and parking wasn't an issue. While leaving I noticed there's bathrooms right outside the gates so that's a big plus. Overall I'm very happy in how this renovation turned out and Morico (my dog) and I will be coming here often. read more

See all

I've been here before and after the renovations took place and I've got to say that this rating is for both situations. Prior to the renovations, the park was alright, but it ALWAYS smelled like pee. After the renovations, the nice benches and drinking fountains are a plus. However, there are no trees to shade from the harsh summer sun and it STILL smells like pee all the time. It's unfortunate since the park is so close to home and I would love to take my dog here to roam, but I can't stay in the park longer than 30 minutes because of the odor...I'm not sure if there is something the City can do, such as put down some zeolite in the grass and water/wash down the sand and fence posts so it doesn't smell as bad. I know they close all day Wednesday for cleaning, but maybe it'd be better just to do some maintenance daily before or after the park closes for the day. read more

The dog park has been very nicely renovated with new grass, trees, fencing, benches, and 2 people restrooms. Bravo! We like it a lot!

Big open space for my dogs to run around in. Lots of dogs for them to play with which was fun. The parking lot smells like dog poop and if it's windy you'll get the smell of it. the trash cans probably need to be emptied way more than they actually are. there was also a lot of poop that wasn't picked up by dog owners which is gross, pick your dogs shit up. read more

Came here on a Monday afternoon for the first time with my dog. The park looks well kept but not enough shade. Also muddy spot around the tree which is the only shad in the park. Poop everywhere. Dog owner doesn't seem to care to pick up after their dog not acceptable. read more

I frequent the dog park about 3-4x a week with my fur kids. The crowd at the dog park is made up of your regulars who bring their umbrellas, chairs, blankets and what not. They are all very friendly and inviting to their circle. Even when my dog pee's on their stuff (sorry about that). I always take my dogs to the little dog park side because they cannot keep up with the big dogs and Popeye my English Bully is a senior citizen and takes things at his own pace. He likes to chase the little dogs for 30 seconds and then is back to pee'ing on everything. There are plenty of trash cans, doggy bags for the poop and lots of friendly faces. I used to go out of my way to go to the Costa Mesa Bark Park but found that the Orange Bark Park is much more inviting and friendlier people. read more

Dog parks are like doggie Disneyland. Full of smells, new dogs, and tennis balls, dog parks are just what a dog wants when you come home from work. This weekend we packed up our two canine pals and chauffeured them to the Orange Dog Park. It was already populated with dogs and their people, all of whom seemed to be enjoying the day's sunshine. There are two sections to the park, which seems to be standard for dog parks. One side offers fun to smaller dogs. The other is set up for larger dogs. At 34 pounds each, our gals are considered large and that is the side where we went. For us, the dog park is a bit of an odd experience. Many dogs run in and make friends with other dogs. They run amok and generally become clowns. Our girls are not like this. We have the loner dogs. Jackie considers the other dogs to be obstacles. For Jackie, the dog park is a speed dating location where she asks various people to throw the ball for her. She takes the ball, finds someone that meets some criteria that she hasn't shared with me, teaches that person to throw the ball a while, and then she leaves that person bereft and locates another victim. As she runs to the ball and brings it back, she dodges other dogs, working hard to ignore the ones that want to interact with her. Ginger is our foster dog. While she is looking for a home, she is living with us. While we knew that Jackie was a loner, we thought that Ginger might enjoy the dog park and dog friends. Apparently Ginger is a loner, too. She wandered in, ignored all of the dogs, and went on walk-about through the park. Mr. Handsome and I found a bench and watched our girls do what they do. We also watched everyone else, too. Dog parks are a wonderful place to people and dog watch. There are as many different people as there are types of dogs. There was the stocky grey pit bull boy and his stocky, dark guy owner. There was the friendly British gal and her friendly Old English Sheep Dog. A man with a Suburban opened the door to let his dog out and out came two huge dogs: a Great Dane and a Newfoundland. The guy was really tall, too. I wonder what people saw when the looked at us and our dogs. While our gals didn't meet any friends, or apparently even give another dog a chance, they had a great time. They had a look of satisfaction when they got back into the car and they napped for the rest of the afternoon after the excitement of the dog park. We'll be back, as much for our girls as for a fun place to people watch. read more

Went with my large size dog and he had a great time. It was Saturday around 12 and it wasn't too crowded. Every one there was friendly (humans & dogs). Overall it was kept clean. Only downfall is there is no shade. Plenty of parking. Mainly grass and not a lot of dirt. read more

CAR BUGLERS!!! I really enjoyed taking my mini schnauzer here to run and play because the area is large with enough room to play catch. Its not too crowded so my puppy always had enough room to run and release his energy. Unfortunately the area is not the greatest. Today our car and two other cars were broken into within a matter of minutes. We were probably there for about 10-15 minutes and a lady comes in asking who has the white honda civic because the window was broken. As we ran to the parking lot our window was in fact missing along with my purse. Two cars next to us also had broken windows and missing bags. A witness stated she saw a silver truck roll up with three men who were not there with dogs. The arrived and left quickly. They clearly knew what they were doing because they managed to burglarize three cars within a minute. They most likely knew that most people do not take purses or bags into the park so its an easy target. Sadly we were the victims. read more

Have a dog, want a dog, can't have one but love dogs? This is the place for you. This unassuming little park sits on a busy corner, at Yorba and Chapman, but once you're their, you hardly notice the traffic, because there's actually a pretty nice expanse of grass between you and the very busy Chapman Avenue. There's plenty of parking, and sections for both large and small small dogs to play and run. Both areas are fenced in. I would never have known about this place, but my roommates found a lost dog that we ended up rescuing and of course, what better place to take her to socialize and play than the nearest dog park? The place is volunteer run, and closed on Wednesdays for maintenance, and is pretty great for what it is. read more

I love this park out of all the dog parks in OC . But I have to say today was a disappointment when I came and saw no one picking up after their dogs . Poop everywhere . My son stepped in poop 3 separate times , 3 different piles . Finally I got fed up and started picking up poop so my son and I wouldn't have o worry about where we step or worry about it getting on my dog . 7 dog shits within 20 steps of each other . Come on people . If you bring your dog pick up after it keep our park clean and safe ! And if you know your dog has very loose stool prepare yourself with the needs to clean it or don't come ! read more

Loved this park. Was visiting from out of state and needed a sweet little spot to take the puppers to run off some energy. I love how there were multiple divided sections. read more

love this dog park, have taken my 1 yr old foster dog there 3 times with zero dog incidents, he loves to run and is friendly and so far all dogs are cool there. No dust at all, unlike HB dog park. Shady trees and benches for the humans. read more

This is a great park, people are always friendly. I've read reviews where people trash this place, and they either have been once or just don't know anything. Yes, some owners don't pick up the bombs their dog drops; those are usually the owners sitting on a bench reading or playing with their phone and don't even bothering or think about it. It happens and sucks. The larger dog side could use a better watering system. Like anything in the world you need to accept not everyone trains their dogs the same, not everyone understands their dog may be aggressive. Great park, good people, for the most part. PLEASE PICK YOUR DOGS POO!! Or help out. read more

Brought my labradoodle to visit this dog park. There was no one on the little dog side yet the big dog side was packed. We won't be back to this park though because when we left my puppy was covered in burrs. I had to shave her when we got home because I couldn't get them out. Super disappointed especially this dog park has recently been redone. read more

Great park in terms of attendance. I've gone all throughout the week - late/early, weekdays, weekends - and there's always someone there for Jessie to run around with. For the most part people (and dogs) are very friendly and responsible. It's not fancy but it's a dog park, they don't care if the grass isn't in pristine shape . The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is a small water area that typically looks dirty and the occasional owner who doesn't clean up after their dog or who chooses to walk through the parking lot with no leash. I had a near incident with an unescorted small dog - use a leash!! read more

My little dog loves this park! He instantly makes furry friends and runs and runs with them! its the sweetest thing! The small dog area is usually not crowded. Place to hang your leash, fire hydrant haha, benches, poop bags, balls, water bowls (bring your own just in case) owners are friendly, some people complain about shade, which is limited, but I have seen owners bring their umbrella chair. The only downfall is sometimes owners do not pick up their dogs poop! but i have only seen this happen a few times and the owners were elderly or distracted. It is not a minefield of poop! also there are clean restrooms across the way if you need to use it or wash your hands, a fountain as well! read more

Nice dog park that is close to home. The large dog area is nothing fancy. Wide open spaces for large dogs to rough house and tumble. Small dog area is more my dog's speed. Other dogs behinds are the perfect height for sniffing :-) Friendly people and it seems that everyone cleans up after their dogs which is a plus. read more

This is a really fun dog park. It's also adjacent to the bike path. The dogs have a great time getting their exercise in and socializing with their friends. They also have a separate area for small dogs who may be nervous about roaming around the larger-dog zone. It's cool to observe all the different breeds and also nice talking to other dog caregivers. :) read more

Went late afternoon on a Saturday and during the day during the week. Pretty crowded on Saturday, pretty dead during the week. Seems about right. The water bowls are kind of a mess. The area is pretty large and there seems to be a decent amount of parking. They have chairs and a picnic table for folks to sit down. The small and large area entrances are pretty far apart which I like. When we went the first time, there were lots of tennis balls there but no poop bags. Second time, there weren't any balls but plenty of poop bags. I think that means they intermittently keep it up to snuff. Grass was in okay condition. Evie liked it though, so it's all good. read more

Very large and open park. Scattered benches and plastic chairs. Very little shade and there are random bowls for water. Overall the owners are responsive when the dogs get in little squabbles and are quick to pick up their dog's mess. Biggest downfall is that there is very little light after dusk... My pups love this park! read more

This is the dog park that i always take my dog to! its located conveniently off the 55 freeway on Chapman & Yorba. the dog park is split up into 2 sections. There is one huge section for bigger dogs and a smaller area for smaller dogs (obvious, i know). There are benches to sit on near the fences but i would be careful about sittin on them since dogs usually go around and pee on them... There is 1 faucet in each park for your dog to get water from and there are plenty of doggy bags so that you can clean up your dogs poop. There aren't that many trees in the big dog park but there is a lot more shade in the small dog park. The people who bring their dogs here are friendly for the most part and most of the dogs are tamed and under control. ps: Park is closed on wednesdays due to park cleaning & DO NOT come here after a rainy day because all the water creates mud and sand puddles and your pooch will get verryy dirty. trust me, i learned from experience many many times. read more

Now I have a bulldog so I can't say that I come here alot...she's not that into exercise. But when we do want a little bit of fun with other pups, we come here. We stay on the little dog side since my girl has some knee issues but once she gets there she is a speedy little bowling ball! Everyone I've ever met here has been really nice and friendly. Everyone picks up after their dogs and has a nice, mellow time. Makes for a great morning or afternoon! read more

2 parks. 1 for small dogs / 1 for large dogs metal benches scattered about poop bags available most of the time water faucet and bowls everywhere a fellow yelp reviewer made a comment about how some people don't watch their dog after they are let loose in the park. i made guilty of that (my bad!) my Stella loves to wonder and meet everyone, dogs and people. she leaves my side immediately and is a happy pup I do try to track her as she wonders around and make an effort to pick up her poop when she goes potty. I don't go on full poop patrol, but I do pick up after other dogs if they happen to go #2 need the main walk ways, entry gate and water faucet. Other than that, the park regulars are friendly and there are plenty of social pups to play and pet. read more

Lots of trees, very clean, option of large dog or small dog area. Friendly dog owners that understand doggy manners, my dog is still learning and the other dog owners were gracious. My dog Burner likes it, and that's good enough for me. Have been coming off and on for six months. I'll be making this a regular stop. read more

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

I have been to several dog parks in Orange County and I'd have to say I like this one the best. It's a very large park so the dogs have enough room to roam around. Plus, it's a lot cleaner than some of the others in inland OC. Of course you get the occasional owner who doesn't pick up their dog's poop...but for the most part everyone is very attentive to their dogs. My favorite part of this park is that there are grassy areas and some large dirt patches. My Aussie LOVES to dig and she had a great time digging in this park. read more

Space is abundant at the Orange Dog Park, so if you are looking for a great park with room for your pup to run around, you've found it here. The park is divided into two sides, small and large. Shinobi had plenty of friends to play with on the small side, the park was full visitors on on a Saturday afternoon. There are a bunch of benches for those who like to sit and watch and plenty of water bowls for your thirsty four legged friend. Everyone seemed pretty chill and laid back, I didnt see any aggressive dogs in the hour I was here. There's a big parking lot so parking is an not an issue. Overall, it is a decent dog park, the facilities are nice, but nothing that wows you. I'd definitely bring my maltipoo back here if I am ever in the area. read more

Orange Dog Park - Shinobi (white maltipoo) making a new friend! - Dog Parks Near Me - Orange, California

Nice neighborhood dog park. Make sure you splash out the old water in their provided water bowl and refill it before you allow your dog to drink from it. Small plastic bag dispensers are provided for you to pick up after your dog. There are two enclosed areas, one for larger dogs and one for smaller dogs. There is plenty of parking as well. You just have to remember that they are closed on Wednesdays for maintenance. read more

They are currently undergoing some reseeding, so they moved the areas to the left. They do reseed the grass every year about October-ish. So keep that in mind. Taken our dog here to both the small dog side while he was a puppy and to the big dog side as he grew up, and in both sides you can find the owners that dont watch their dogs. But for the most part, all the dogs are friendly and so are the owners. And most of them do watch their dogs and if they get too rowdy, will step in to calm them down. Ive never seen any one or any dog get hurt while visiting here. Weekends tend to be more busy, for obvious reasons, but there always seems to be a parking spot. It will be nice when the reseeded side opens up, since there are trees for shade and benches and tables. read more

This was the first dog park experience Melrose had. In spite of getting bitten on the head, she really loved it!! There was a pack of dogs getting ready to leave and maybe this one was cranky and wanted to play longer, so as three dogs, mine included, ran over to perform the requisite sniffing, he started barking and bit Melrose in the head!!! She rolled over and played dead =) The owner was apologetic, and there was no blood involved, so I sent her on her merry way to continue playing. The large dog side is nice and big, plenty of room to ROAM!! There are a few benches under the trees for the owners to sit down. I would estimate this side is about 50% covered in grass, the rest is dirt. Overall, it was very clean! And for the most part, the owners were pretty attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back! Note that the park is closed on Wednesdays for maintenance and closes daily @ dusk. read more

Every day there are groups of people sitting in circles talking, paying NO attention to their dogs. As they're pooping all over. How about actually spending time with your DOG?! CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG!! read more

i like that the small dog park is nice and spacious with plenty of shade and a good number of benches. the large dog area... well, it's large. too bad there isn't more shade there. and the parking... well, it kinda sucks. but MOST of the dog owners seem to be responsible. there are always a few idiots that ignore their dogs once they get in. hello, no one wants to step in your dog's poo! my favorite part is the HUUUUGE meadow next to the large dog area... we let our pup run around by himself and enjoy all the nice green grass. read more

This is a nice little dog park. I said little, but I think it actually kind of huge! We have been bringing our little pup here for the past couple of months, and she seems to like it :) There is a little dog section and a big dog section. There are trees in the little dog section providing some nice shade (and entertainment for children). There are also water dishes all over the place for the dogs to get some refreshment. The owners seem to be pretty great at this dog park--keeping a watchful eye on play to make sure that nothing gets out of hand, and picking up after their dogs. We have had great experiences at this dog park, and I can't think of anything that I would change to make it better! read more

It's nice to have a park close by, a section get off for large dogs and small dogs which is not unusual. A large part has many seating areas and is actually larger than most parks I've seen. The smaller is very nice with lots of water for dogs, although the water comes from jugs and not from steady fountains. So I highly recommend you bring your own water especially as the summer gets hotter. The grass in the large park looks better maintained then in the small park, There's a lot more dirt in the small park. There is a sign that says they've address this issue but it doesn't look like it really has been. Important to know that the dog park is closed on Wednesday for maintenance. We went on Wednesday but we are lucky enough to go early before maintenance got there. Overall it is still one of the nicest parks I've been to. read more

My dogs give it a paws up. I like the small dog area of this park more than Central Bark in Irvine which is our other go-to play spot. The small dog area here has some shade and just a better feel to it. Also, things don't seem to get as out of hand and crazy here as they can at Central Bark. It can get stinky especially on Tuesday, the day before maintenance day but hey, it's a dog park. It seems like most of the people who come here pay attention to their dogs, clean up after them and don't let things get out of hand. All the dogs play pretty well and there's some room to run. read more

Yorba Dog Park is pretty nice. It's large and has several benches. It could use a little more shade. It has bowls and a water spigot, but the bowls are kinda grody, so I like to bring my own. If you're going to use them, at least rinse them out and refill them lol. For the most part, the people are friendly. As long as everyone follows the rules, it's a nice experience for all. The rules include: Keeping an eye on your dog/dogs. We do have to remember that they are animals, not children and they will behave like animals do, sometimes unpredictably. But no one knows your dog like you do, so if you are keeping an eye on him or her, you can tell if things are starting to go down a not so good road, and intervene before an accident happens. Pick up after your dog! It's not fair to anyone when your dog poops and you leave it there. The other dogs step in it, or the owners do. It's nasty. Poop bags are provided for a reason. On that note, donations keep the dog park clean and poop bags stocked, so if you use the park, please consider donating, your dog will thank you! :) If you know your dog is aggressive or not socialized enough to play nice, then either don't bring him or muzzle him. It can save a nasty dog fight from happening. If you bring your small puppy, please keep him/her in the small dog area till he's big enough to hold his own with the big dogs. Recently, I saw a small pit bull puppy accidentally run over by a pack of dogs that included a great dane and several other large breed dogs. The puppy was obviously hurt from being stepped on and the owner left with it right after. So, please protect your little ones. read more
