Well, I'm fricken excited! I found it! It's a solitary fenced area, PERFECT! It's more the novelty for me though tbh cuz I read the reviews & wanted to happen upon it... and i just did. Its great for me well, my dog(s) to be off leash 🖤🖤🐕 PS°° its very inconspicuous

Walled space to let your dog run off leash on a gravel. I’ve never seen a dog here

I like to try out all the different dog parks. Paid $4.50 to park on a Saturday afternoon to check out this one based on the only Google review before this one, which gave it a five star and said it was the most beautiful Park they had ever seen. Apparently that was a joke or something. It's literally a concrete slab similar to an outdoor racquetball court with some gravel in the middle. Yes, it is a dog park but there is zero greenery or scenery and the overall feel is urban dystopia. There are no benches, water sources, or lawn for the dogs. If you're downtown and you need a place for your dog to relieve themselves, this is an option, but I would not waste my time making a purposeful trip here. Personally, I do not appreciate five star reviews which turn out to be a cynical joke.

This is exactly as others have reported - a concrete isolation chamber with rocks in it. That said, at least it's clean and somewhat secluded with a very safe feel to it considering there is security nearby. If you know what you're getting, it may be exactly what you're after - but don't expect to see others there. I think if they added some benches and maybe some structures for the dogs and even a mural it would liven the place right up. Here's to hoping.

Go if your desperate. This is under the 5 freeway, it’s narrow and gravel, no room to run really and it’s really isolated unless there are some encampments there. It’s usually empty and sometimes scary because there isn’t good lighting in the evening. Honestly, it’s pathetic. This city does a deplorable job at accommodating the amount of dogs per capita. If I could give it zero stars I would.
