We took our Pappys on Valentines Day weekend (Sunday late morning) here and they had a blast. All of the dogs were well behaved and fun to watch. A few came over to get some well deserved attention.

Large dog park! Wish I found it sooner, my dog loves it and its nice to walk through the park on your way in. Lots of friendly dogs and responsible owners. Grounds have been clean when we've visited.

Nates Point Dog Park is a great place to bring your furry kids to come and stretch out their legs and to socialize with other doggies. I’ve been coming here for years now and it’s a wide and long area for them to play and fetch the ball, it’s never to crowded and they have doggy bags for when your furry kids do their business. It has some great views of the bridge, the museum of us and it’s it’s located conveniently by the freeways. There’s always plenty of parking close by, they have water fountains for you and your furry kids. It’s mainly all dirt with plenty of trees scattered around the park. They have one picnic table but I wouldn’t recommend eating your meals on it , it tends to smell like urine around the entrance of the park but that’s expected at dog parks. It would be nice if they added more seating or a dog playground. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. The Haunted Trails is located close by in October.

Is it just me or does this place stink so bad it’s unusable? I find myself gagging when I’m there and when I leave my clothes, shoes and of course my pup have picked up the stench and it stays with us for the day at least. I get that dog parks aren’t meant to smell like flowers but I’ve been to plenty and never smelled one like this

Great dog park. It’s definitely overwhelming for some dogs. But overall it’s good cause it’s caged. The water fountain doesn’t work well so bring your own water. The other dog parks in the area seem to be open field. It’s a good thing this one exists.
