Aldergate Dog Park, Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District

Large park, lots of space. Most of the dogs are great. Not all the dog owners are responsible re: aggressive dogs and picking up dog poop. Our dog was attacked twice today by a golden retriever. The dog pinned her down and bit her neck. My dog was screaming for 5-10 seconds. This happened again a few minutes later. We left after it happened a second time as the dog’s owner did not correct or remove his dog. Having a golden retriever does not cancel out aggressive behavior.

Huge dog park! There is a little dog area and the big dog area. It’s a great place to let your dog play with others and run there zoomies out. They have a nice water station area to rinse off your dog if they get muddy. The park is filled with wood chips and dirt so it gets muddy when pups dump the water buckets over accidentally. They provide tennis balls and potty bags to pick up your pups business. My dog Cye loves coming here to play! The people are nice also.

Really great place to bring a puppy once they're old enough. I ended up with a very timid and scared dog and have been bringing him off and on for a few months. Over the last month I've been much more consistent with it. There are plenty of really kind people that come! It can get cliquey with people that have been there for a while, but for the most part the people and especially the dogs are nice. The big thing I recommend is to not bring your own toys or leave water unattended as there are a few dogs that will claim them and destroy them, and owners that will not try hard to keep there dog from doing as much. Plenty of tennis balls around, and providef poop bags and also a scoop to clean up. There are places to sit, and if it's the right time of day they will be in the shade. However, some people do bring their own chairs and that seems like a great idea! I haven't personally had issues with others, and only once was another dog too much for my dog who is also just very timid. Overall, it's been a great experience and my dog has slowly been coming out of his shell!

Love this dog park! Super friendly people and dogs. They have a separate small dog area from big dogs which is nice. They have restrooms open for the public. The parking lot is small but lots of on street parking. Also lots of hiking trails but they can be hard to enter.

Such a wonderful place to take you doggies. The park for small dogs it’s a little small, but it has grass and a bench, so you can be comfortable while taking care of your babies. I didn’t went inside of the park for big dogs, but I could notice it was so big that it allows them to run without a problem.
