Irvine Central Bark

My dogs absolutely love coming to this dog park! They get so excited when my husband and I say " wanna go to the dog park?" Today we we're there for 2 hours, they played with lots of different dogs when we arrived no one there and then as we we're playing with our dogs more people arrived (I recognized faces and fluffy butts LOL).

Decent park. Separate small and large dog areas. Medium sized. Fair number of dogs in attendance. Lots of seating and trees .water available for dogs not humans. My car navigation missed it phone found it less than a block further. Lots of parking .

With big wide open spaces and being segregated for small dogs versus large dogs, this is definitely a interesting place to bring your puppies and dogs to run around and enjoy the company of others. Several places to sit in the shaded area for owners, there’s also a couple of locations for doggy bags so they can clean up after their four-legged friends. Interesting to note at the far back of the park are tiles which appear (mostly) to be memorials to pets that have passed on. The place seems, at the time of my visit, to be reasonably well-maintained. It’s also nice that they have a couple of faucets available to provide water for the dogs.

There's a bigger big dog section to the right and a smaller small dog section to the left, there isn't much other than benches and bowls but there's plenty of grass and things to sniff. usually there'll be a solid number of dogs to play with. There are a lot of flies and it can get hot but there are trees and some shade as well as a water source to fill the bowls. There's usually easy parking in the lot right out front. Follow the signs for Central Bark because it's a bit hard to find at first.

Excellent place for small and large dogs as two yards. Easy to reach as off 5 freeway.
