I wish this kind of dog park was everywhere. I moved out of Fresno and miss taking my Lucy there. She and I made some new friends. The best park in the world. ♥️🐕

Great place to let your dog play and meet other dog owners. Great place to meet dog owners who go above and beyond for their pets. The members only makes it safer for everyone, especially the dogs. #K9Ana #GSD @AlphaK9Co

Great Dog Park.....They have special alloted places for dogs of all sizes. You won't have your Jack Russell terrier running with Rottweilers, Labradors, or any of the larger breeds. This place ensures your dog has the temperament to be there amongst other dogs. People who go there are very friendly.

Beautiful area for doggie. However, there is a strict policy on dog being neutered. Very unfortunate they do not support dog life and blame it on overpopulation. The hypocrisy is unbelievable, if we have too many humans we should euthanize them according to this facility.

It looks okay, but it’s membership-only, and even then they charge $10/day to access the park. I couldn’t get in because my dog had one vaccine that expired 10 days ago (we have an appointment to get it updated this Friday)….
