Doesn't look like much but the ponds behind the dog park are really beautiful and a perfect place for a night picnic!

I'm visiting Redlands. I read such nice reviews of this dog park so I was disappointed to find a "temporary" park. Ok, I understand if there is work going on in the other park but this place is filthy! There was poo everywhere because the bag dispenser is empty and must've been for some time. City workers could at least sweep the walkways. read more

This probably the best dog park in town. My Shiba Inus are medium size dogs, so we go back and forth between the big dog and small dog areas. There are seats around the park so you can sit down watch the dogs play. WARNING: There are a lot of dogs and people after 5pm at the park on weekdays. read more

Seems like a nice place to let your fur down. Parking lot, next to the wide open grass field, bathrooms a short distance away from the pet bathroom, always a good place to meet up with the pack. read more

This is a nice LITTLE dog park. It has a separate section for both small and large dogs. Easy to get to from I10. Finding it is a little tricky. At the corner of Highland and Redlands turn right. There will be a senior retirement home on the right. You will see a wooden sign pointing to the right just past the home. Turn right and go about 50 feet. At the No Entry sign, turn right. Drive about 150 feet up to a gate for a municipal maintenance area....stay on the road and veer right. You have found the parking area for the dog park. We came on a Saturday around 1:00pm. Lots of small and large dogs. It seemed a little on the small size for the number of large dogs. But the dogs were having a good time. Gave it 3 stars just because of the smallish size for large dogs and the inattentiveness of a couple of owners. Ladies...you might want to stop drinking your Starbucks, get off the table and take a break from chatting to see if your beautiful black dog is doing ok. read more

BEWARE!!!!! We love the dog park, but please be cautious of your items while there! Yesterday while at the dog park I set my phone down on a bench next to me and a guy took it. He was in his early 20s, tall, dark complexion, black hair with a 1 year old German Shepard that was mostly black named Atticus. This guy was nice, friendly talking to everyone there but took advantage of a moment of my distraction. Even nice people can the thieves! read more

Awesome dog park that recently opened. Lots of grass and clean benches, but no shade. Highly recommended! Been coming here a few times since we moved here and it definitely fulfills our expectations with the exception of the aforementioned lack of shade. Because the park is very new, the grass is immaculate as is the rest of the location. People here are very friendly and on their best behavior. I usually don't like to bring my smaller dogs to the big dog side however the times we have been here, the dogs have seemed friendly and well exercised so I don't mind. All the standard amenities are present. Big and small dog sides with their own separate double gate entry system, water fountains on concrete pedestal so dogs won't get muddy, and the ambience here is very pleasant. Poop bags are provided for pick up. Location is mostly a good thing with lots of grass space around to walk your dog before or after. I've been to a few dog parks after they recently open and they're all very nice, but after a year things take a big downturn and they are not well maintained to accommodate the traffic. Particularly parks with grass, they degrade quickly. Already you can see (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FT3Aliw32vHnkE_2bvTl5A?select=m8jVdLg8vq778NSVB0XTEg) evidence by the water fountain on the big dog side that it is been dug at and water has created a nice muddy area that is perfect for your dog to dirty themselves up appropriately. Only time will tell. The lack of shade is probably the most glaring aspect as it is commonly very warm here in Redlands and even on temperate days, it is difficult to stay here more than 20 minutes. There is a fundraising project to raise enough funds to build a shade structure, but I think it will take a while to procure since by my calculations, the amount they are needing is a pretty high amount. The park is also difficult to find, but once you do you won't forget. Enter off of highland just east of Roosevelt Rd and you will see signs directing you. Parking, while abundant is a dirt lot which makes it easy to get dirty walking to and from the park both for you and your dog. Still it is very pleasant here and I would certainly recommend a visit if you're a local or in the area. read more

When I first started to come here it was a nice dog park it still is in the surrounding areas but the part where the dogs are fenced-in has become a disappointment.. they need to reseed they need to fill all the holes and the big mud pit right next to the park bench table. Most of the time there's dog poop all over the place because nobody's picking up their poop and you have to watch where you're going at all times which is due to the people that look at their phones instead of their dogs or don't bother to pick it up at all.. but the surrounding park with the duck pond and the large grassy areas and trees are nice they just need to start maintaining the dog yard close it down and reseed it. read more

First off - We have three dogs (Lab, terrier mutt and a Maltese) which I've taken to a few different dog parks in the IE over the years. I am so so so happy to finally have a dog park in Redlands for them. The group that championed this park and helped raise the money certainly deserve some pats on the back. A couple areas where the Redlands dog park could improve and which would get them a 5 star from me: 1) I agree with the previous comment. There is really no shade. Which is probably why the park is dead during the middle of the day. Redlands is hot hot most of the year and the lack of shade really does limit daytime use. 2) An agility course like the dog park by Mt. Rubidoux would be an awesome addition. Right now it's grass, grass and more grass. 3) Some more seating wouldn't hurt for the dog owners either. I guess that is part of the donation process though as all the benches seem to have been sponsored. If you plan on spending awhile at the park you may want to think about bringing some chairs with you just in case. Hm mm. Guess that is about it on my critiques! Now for the pluses: 1) Great location and great addition to Ford Park. Includes parking lot adjacent to the dog park (although you can always park on the other side and walk through the park too). Water bowls and poopy bags included which is pretty standard but appreciated nonetheless. 2) Community feel. Every time I have come here everyone is so friendly and sweet to all the dogs. I really appreciate this because some of the dog parks I have been to the dog owners have all kept to themselves and it makes it more awkward when you have to break up some dog humping. 3) Dogs galore! If you make it to the park in the morning or head down in late afternoon/early evening (pretty much anytime the sun isn't directly overhead) the place is absolutely doggyfull. The big dog side and the little dog side iare both usually full of playful dogs. That to me is the best part. I've been to parks like Loma Linda where I show up and there are no other dogs for my dogs to play with. Or in Riverside where there are no dogs in the little dog area and all of the dogs on the big dog side are pitt bulls (not that I am knocking pitt bulls but they sure do freak out my maltese!) All in all I give 2 major thumbs up to the Redlands Dog Park. I was hooked on my first visit and I highly recommend it for a nice outing with your four legged kids! read more

Great dog park, especially if you have larger dogs and don't like the Loma Linda Dog Park (totally justified if you have bigger pups). The first time finding this place can be tricky; it's not through the main entrance for Ford Park, though it IS "part" of Ford Park. As previous poster said, if you enter off of Highland you should see little wooden posted signs sorta pointing you in the right direction. Once you pull around the corner off of that dirt road, you'll see parking areas and the dog park. It has a great cement area for the front gate, and the doors are perfect for getting in and out without letting other dogs through. There's a big dog side and the small dog side; they're separated by chain link. Not really a lot of trees, which can make it really sunny and hot without some shade. The big dog side seems fantastic to me, having only seen a few dog parks, the area seems large and fairly well maintained. Most parks don't have the best upkeep; they're not usually a city priority and it can be costly. However, with the exception to some muddy spots, grass seems to be in good shape. Doggie poop cleanup supplies (including bags) are provided on both sides. There are water fountains that get fresh water on the big dog side, which I like. Wish they'd put this in on the small dog side! Every time I've visited, there is ONE lone ceramic water dish that is left out on the small dog side. I wonder if it's one someone brought in themselves, since one lady frequently refills it and sets it under the bench where she's sitting "just for her dog." There are also benches on both sides, which is nice. I wish the Loma Linda park had some permanent seating fixtures for owners. The small dog side is significantly smaller, but still a great sized park. There seem to be a lot of regulars, as well as visitors, so it's a nice mix of pooches. Most owners seem really responsible and approachable; I've never had a problem with anyone, and people seem way more relaxed about their dogs playing together than at the Loma Linda park. I've brought my dog here a handful of times now, and he's had fun every time (though he does spend the majority of the time peeing on everything instead of playing). Pros: Spacious Pretty clean Friendly dogs and people Cons: No shade, weather can severely affect air quality Scary at night sometimes read more

Love the locally, hatin the doggie drama, take care of ur dog... it will take of u back!

Love love love taking my pomeranian here. The best time to go is around sunset, everyone is off work and the weather is perfect. My furry companion has made tons of friends here over the years. The dog owners that come are typically really nice too and that's a plus!! It's fun being able to chit chat about our dogs while they play. The only tiny downfalls are during the day there's hardly any shade on the small dog side of the dog park and if it's a packed day the benches and tables are usually all taken up. Definitely the best dog local dog park! read more

My dog and I spent a nice morning here. It was very clean and the grass was green! No fox tails! The other dogs were nice and friendly. We will be back often read more

Beautiful green grass for pups to play, separate sections for big and small dogs plus water fountain. It's at the end of the road but I entered at the end and there's a sign directing to the dog park. Not many dogs since it was over 100 degrees at 3 in the afternoon. If I lived near here I would bring my pup every day. There are benches and a table. read more

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

Full of poop. NO ONE picks up after their dog. Large dogs on the small dog side. Won't be going back because of the poop every where. People are so nasty. Bags are there for you to use. You don't even have to bring your own! read more

I like this park a lot but the lack of shade structures, not enough seating and an unpaved parking area are major disappointments. Also the water stations need some work. Hopefully they will soon be able to correct these faults. There are separate areas for large and small dogs and each has ample grassy areas for dogs to run around. The people who bring their dogs here are super friendly. The variety of dog breeds is amazing. The best time to come here is in the late afternoon. The surrounding trees do provide shade at that time. read more

This is a very clean and relaxing place. I didn't realize they have 2 sides one for big dogs one for large so when facing the dog park. Left for small right for big. read more

cute spot! two sections for small dogs and big dogs. definitely going to start taking my dog there!

Whenever we get a chance we bring our dog here. It is great place to hang out. Wish they had more sitting area with shade. There are two ponds near by, can take nice stroll after our puppy has enjoyed fun time with friends. read more

Cute place with lots of running space for out 4 legged children. Parking was strange and seems to get crowded.

Best dog park in the area hands down. Friendly dogs, nice people, big space. There are drinking stations for the dogs, a side for big dogs and a separate side for small dogs, poop bags, and poop scoopers. And there are almost always dogs there. The park really gets going around 4-7 in the spring/summer (depending on the time sunsets). In the winter, people are usually scrambling to get there after work, but before the sun sets. The park gets A LOT of use and the grass can probably use a break now and then, and sometimes the water lines for the drinking stations have leaked, and the small dog side could use some more shade. But these are minor inconveniences to me because the atmosphere more than makes up for it. read more

I came here a while back with a friend because the dog park we stopped by first was literally a patch of dirt. This one on the other hand is nice, like it is super nice! Although it is not the biggest dog park it does what it needs to do, provide a safe place for dogs to play~ They have two sections one for big and one for small dogs. They have a watering thing as well for your dogs to quench their thirst! There's not a lot of shade there so if you going bring some sunscreen and maybe a hat and sunglasses. It was also confusing to find which parking lot led to it as well. Other than that, I recommend this dog park. It is worth the drive compared to the others in the area that's prodominently dirt. Plus it keeps your dog clean as well~ read more

Been to this park quite a few times and never knew they had a dog park. It was our first time to the dog park, what a fun afternoon! Nice watching all the dogs running and playing together. The water station is definitely a nice touch. We will be back for sure!!! read more

Redlands Dog Park - Making Friends! - Dog Parks Near Me - Redlands, California

Really great dog park!! After playing in the traditional area, we took the dogs up to the little man made pond with lots of ducks to follow & things to sniff. They had a great time. We'll go back if in the area again. read more

Cute doggie gates, nice space, but the grass was nearly non-existent when I went a few weeks ago, so there was tons of mud everywhere which effectively camoflauged the "doggie mines" left behind by careless owners. Hope to come back again in the spring, and to see some grass on my next visit! read more

This is a really nice dog park and I have taken my dog here a couple of times and it has been fine; however within a week my dog was attacked twice here. Overall it is really spacious and a lot of room for the dogs to play but it will probably be a while before I take her back. read more

One of the better ones I've been to. Big field for both the little and big dog sections. Grassy with very little holes... granted this one is fairly new so eventually it will happen. There's about 5 benches, and quite a few water dishes, a good hose, "poop bags" and pooper scoopers are provided and there's usually a good amount of tennis balls lying around... which is very good in my dog's case. Like others commented on, the only real problem is the lack of shade, though they have planted tree(s?) that are still little... Most of the people there are pretty normal and the dogs are mostly very friendly. You would think that the parking lot they have would be enough, but 5:00 rolls around and it's a race to see who gets a parking spot. So make sure you get there at a good time. It's usually not too busy around 4:30. The dog park is a little hard to find, but it's Redlands, so it's expected. I would recommend taking your dog(s) here.. If you have a shy dog and it's their first time to a dog park, you will probably need to bring it a few times for them to get the hang of it and in the afternoon when it's not too crowded, but it's a good park to start off at. read more

This is one of my favorite dog parks in the area, the big and the small dogs are separate which is very important to me because I have a tiny chihuahua. There is always plenty of other dogs present which is great, because many of the other "small dog parks" do not have other dogs or not many. My pup always manages to stay busy there. Plenty of seating and trees however there is not many seats in the shade. Oh also the people I have encountered there are very friendly read more

Swear, nothing like ghetto L.A. This park has it all! Trees for shade, water, poop bags and a big space to run and play. We took our furry friends here to relax and have a fun time walking around and leaving their pee all over the place. Sure enough, that's exactly what they did. Everyone seemed friendly and of course there is always 1 dog owner that is too busy being on their phone instead of watching their dog. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for using your phone.... Just not when your dog is taki g a huge dump and you decide your phone is more important that you simply won't pick up after them. Geesh, stay at home instead.... Anyways, our dogs had a blast and enjoyed being at the park. If you decide to walk them around the actual park, there are two little ponds located uphill. Really nice park and view. read more

Redlands Dog Park - Bobsy hanging out - Dog Parks Near Me - Redlands, California

Haven't really been to many dog parks but I can say I really enjoy this one. I use to go almost weekly but have been a bit busy lately. The people are very lovely(often on the older side) and though some aren't always attentive to their pups the park is always clean! So someone out there is looking out for others and being considerate. There's always tennis balls for dogs to play with and water bowls to drink from, although you have to change the water a bit constantly, it's still a plus! And the big side vs small side is a great thing too! Never had a bad experience while being here. Although I do wish there was more of a shady area and maybe a water fountain for us pet owners :p read more

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

Wow Wow I didn't know that place was there, very beautiful and a few small pond's with really cool ducks and Crane's. Clean and quiet large place for the little dog's and big dogs. Tennis courts, BBQ pits. Lot's of tree's. Just a hidden gem. A Oasis in the City. My dog's just loved it going back much more often. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when we showed up to this dog park and there were actually dogs there. We first visited the Loma Linda dog park and there were only two dogs there and after they left no one else showed up. At this park we arrived and there was between 8-10 dogs. There is a nice separation between big dogs and small dogs. Will definitely come back here! read more

Large dog park with grass. There's a huge fenced area for large dogs and a pretty big area for small dogs. The middle has a faucet for water bowls. Everybody here knows the rules about picking up their dog's poop. read more

Jen, this review is for you. Redlands Dog Park beats Loma Linda dog park by an immeasurable amount. There's grass, there are actually other dogs for your pup to socialize with, they have a pooper-scooper for you to clean up after your mut (seriously... clean up after your mut). There are also water fountains for when your dog gets pooped from being wound up from running around here. (Stupid me, however, always seem to conveniently forget a bowl.) There are all sorts of unpleasant to me but enthralling to my dog smells throughout the entire park. A bench leg that has been urinated on thousands of times? Goodness yes, let me go stick my face in it! If I like it so much, why only four stars? A fair question. That is due to the fact that I've seen too many "dog stupid" people here. People that think it's funny to watch their own puppy get trampled in the big dog side, or feel it's acceptable if their dog snaps at and chases another dog for receiving a treat. I even saw a dog bite a guy on the leg. Yup, actually bit him. I think the guy may have been milking it a little (okay, a lot), but I've been seriously bitten by dogs and even play bites hurt. There are also plenty of dog presents around both the gated areas and the perimeter of the park, suggesting enough people don't feel they should have to clean up after their own damn dogs. I won't do it for you, but I'm at least decent enough to clean up after my own. Last, there are a pair of stinky ponds with turtles, fish, and duckies up the hill, along with quite a bit of grass and a playground thanks to Ford Park. This is nice for giving your dog a break from the other dogs but still being able to keep him out and about. As with any dog park, if you don't understand dog behavior and mannerisms... stay the fuck home. It makes the experience much more pleasant for the dogs, and for those who do. read more

Odor hits you like a block wall the minute you get out of your car. The entrance, fencing, and tables were drenched in urine. You could tell it had been there because the fence was rusted. The block pillars were drenched with urine as well as the tables. People were really not watching their dogs and didn't see anyone picking up their dog's poop. The smell of urine was so overwhelming and the field was so muddy we had to leave. Very disappointed with the City of Redlands for their lack of maintenance with this park. Very disappointing. read more

All grass dog park! 'Nuff said. The size is just right for the small dog side and the big dog side. There are toys, fresh water, and lots of bags and scoops for us to clean our puppies. Overall park is clean and the dogs and owners are friendly. We live in LA and still make it a point to visit this park when we are in the area. read more

Cute little dog park. It's a bit hard to find it's tucked away. There's a street called Roosevelt that runs east to west but the east part isn't called Roosevelt but nevertheless it's off that street. Follow the sign that says dog park. Parking is small but they have an area for big dogs and small dogs and it's clean and grassy with a dog fountain. Up the hill is a pond with ducks and beside it is a lake with more ducks. There is a bathroom and further out is a playground. People are so friendly and lots of dogs too. read more
