Hellyer Park is a really nice park. And the dog parks are good, too. There are actually three off leash sections. A gig grassy one that is closed when it is wet. And smaller sandy ones for small and large dogs. There are also tons of great places for on leash walks

This is an ok dog park. Parking costs $6. The dog park is fenced of into two areas for small and large dogs. Overall both spaces are open and large but have little grooming. On the day we visited the ground was very wet and muddy despite not having rain for over a week. Honestly I think there better parks that available at no cost. If you have children there is a great play structure in the other side of the park, which can offset the cost of parking with other non dog activities

Just moved to the area and this was our first time here. A great experience. Dogs were well-behaved, owners were super friendly. Real grass (yay!!!!!!!) and lots of toys, water buckets and a water pump for clean, fresh water. Lots of places to sit in the sun or shade. Worth the $6 park fee but we plan to come often so we bought a county park pass. Lots of areas to the park where you can relax. Oh, the dog park is closed on Wednesdays for maintenance. Overall awesome place!

Hands down the BEST dog park in San Jose. Every corner of this giant field has a different feel and vibe. There is also a good amount of dogs that always show up; things can get hectic from 6-8pm but it is usually a lot calmer in the morning and early day. Almost all the owners keep a close eye on their dogs, with a few exceptions of course. There is a $6 dollar entrance fee, but you only need to pay if the workers are there, which is about 3/7 days of the week. Most people park in the neighborhood around the corner to avoid paying.

Parking was $6, the park is clean, the area is also bigger than I thought it would be. Most of the dogs here are friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit!
