Best dog park in the city. Hike for you, hike for dogs. Huge area, very shady. There are one or two spots without a fence (one is the entrance coming from Mt Tabor proper) but they are easy to spot and avoid but just be aware. People keep it pretty clean and I haven't had problems with irresponsible owners yet.

Highly recommended dog park to go to for the active type, both two legged and four. This park is fenced, though I must warn you, there are top-outs. The very top of the stairs (mid-park) and at the upper South end of the park are not fenced. If you keep your dog away from these top outs, they will never know. Your puppy will love the many adventurous spots around the park and have a blast playing with all the dogs at the center of the park. During rainy seasons, be prepared for MUD, be prepared for a dog bath! During dry seasons, the canopy of this micro-forest will keep you cool and your loved ones. The trail is fairly easy and the park is so big you can easily walk a mile if you do a couple of laps. All around, a must if you're even considering coming here.

Dusty, dirty and neglected, this barren hillside is not even fully gated. The gates and fences are falling down, and some places a dog can run right through. The water station has no drain, so the water runs down the hill making a muddy mess. There’s little to no available parking on the dead end road to the park. There’s a lot of room for dogs to run, but no flat place at all. There are a couple of low dirty benches just inside the fence, and that’s it. Nowhere to sit, and no place to walk with your dog, just an empty dirt lot. I’ve seen many dog lots, and this one is pretty pitiful.

We had never taken our 2 German Shepherds here before and just wanted to try something new - it’s a fairly large area and being a hill, gave our ball chasers a real challenge. There were several other dogs there and ours found two other shepherds to play with. There’s a great water faucet with a large bowl under it so our pups had plenty to drink. I don’t know how parking is most of the time, but we found close street parking pretty easily when we arrived (we went on a Saturday afternoon). We would definitely visit here again in the future.
