My only complaint was that, when it started raining, there was no covered area to block the rain. There is a shaded area, but the rain flows right through the shade.

Lake Baldwin is still by far my favorite dog park in the area, but this is a solid alternative when not wanting to deal with the dogs going into the lake.

To me this is more of a dog park honestly because they have an area just for dogs, love that they separated the big dogs from the small dogs. There is a lot of benches to sit at, pavilions for shade as well as a playground for the kids. I love that they have the exercise stations for those who want to get a workout in while walking or jogging the pond. Only thing I had an issue is that the women's restroom doesn't have a trash can for feminine product disposal.

This is a beautiful city park, well-maintained and with plenty of room to run and play, with an…read moreimpressive amount of forest within the "large dog" off-leash area. However, the majority of us are not "allowed" here and it is dangerous. Let me explain. The first Saturday morning I went I fell in love immediately and met some nice people and dogs. Unfortunately, I have never had that experience again, and I now realize this was an anomaly. There is a group of locals who "own" the spot, mostly mid-40's to mid-60's men. They are not friendly or welcoming and their dogs are aggressive, clearly feeding off of the "subtle" vibes of their owners. The vibe with the dogs is more overt: no one else allowed here. The dogs will bark menacingly and chase off other dogs and constantly have their hackles up. The first time I encountered the group was on a Sunday, so I thought, "Okay, I'll just stick with Saturdays at this place." But the next Saturday they were there, too. Really bad vibes, had to leave quickly. I stayed away from visiting for a while, but I have to re-state that this is such a great dog park! So today, I wanted to try again, and I figured maybe a weekday morning at 7:00am would be safe. Nope! The crew was there like they live there. I was so upset but let my dog at least run the full fenced in area and go potty. Several dogs had already threatened him, hackles all up, the crew not saying a word to me as I walked past to bag my dog's poop. We left as quickly as we could (it's a BIG place), and two of "the crew" were also leaving with their three dogs. My own dog is a sweet Labradoodle; you know, one of those kind souls who is always smiling and who loves everyone and every dog? Well, as we were trying to exit, the pack of three dogs attacked my dog. The owner quickly called them off, but mine ran to me (he's 90 lbs) and was clearly afraid. I comforted him and we waited for the group to leave first. My dog seemed fine, and unhurt. However, I later found drips of blood on the back door of my car, once I realized that his ear was wounded at home. I am so furious. This is ridiculous. This public park does NOT belong to these horrible people and their violent dogs. I wish law enforcement would intervene, but I doubt it. I would not recommend visiting this park, although it is absolutely beautiful. It's a shame that people suck, train their dogs to suck, and ruin a lovely thing for others who have every right to enjoy it. My tax dollars, which are substantial, pay for this park, too. It makes me so angry that I will never be able to go back.

Blue Jacket Park is definitely one of my favorite parks to visit. It is spacious with many…read moreopportunities to engage in various activities, from working out, biking, jogging/running, walking, picnicking, yoga - you name it, you can do it. While it is a lively park and can get busy from time to time, especially on the days the run/walk clubs are there, it is usually a nice park to visit solo and enjoy the peace of the surroundings offered. There is more than enough open green space and a good amount of seating throughout the park. The park also maintains various courts/area for various sporting events like baseball, volleyball, soccer, and various other outdoor activities. As far as proximity to other areas, this park is also located a short distance from the shopping and food eateries in Baldwin Park. So, after enjoying a great workout or just strolling through the park, you can pop over to Baldwin Park for some food and beverages. The only challenge, at times, is parking. Parking in this area (in general) is just tricky; however, there is street parking throughout the neighborhood near the park as well as a designated parking lot for the park itself. However, you can also park throughout the Baldwin Park area and just walk to the park from there. Before I close this out, I've gone to numerous events in this park as well, so it is great for hosting various community events (of course, with the proper permits, etc.). All in all, Blue Jacket Park is really just a great park.
