Papago Bark Park

We had our first visit today during the afternoon, and its an okay dog park. Im sure once there's more dogs to play with its an enjoyable time. The "adventure area" behind the dog park is beautiful but FILLED with broken glass shards everywhere. We did explore around the rocks and caves but its so sad to see the area littered with broken glass.

This place is a very clean and beautiful park. There are park Rangers that do come around and also a police officer too but he parks and watches just to make sure everybody is safe and civil. The lake is pretty clean to me and there are fishes in it too mostly baby ones. There is a dog park, picnic areas,shade from the sun, and kids playground.

Never seen so much dog poop in a dog park in my life. What is happening, folks? Vet bills must be very high is all I can say while I wipe your dog’s poo off my dog’s paws and just wonder… why? So very much poop. And the 2 other folks who dared to enter said it’s usually worse.

If you're in the area with your dog, then your furry friend will enjoy this laid back no bells and whistles park. The grass is taken care of, the doggie bags are the best quality for picking up after your dog. There's two sections, however 1 is usually closed, but last week I saw one person in there so perhaps that's changed which gives the option of socializing your dog or not. The people and dogs that frequent it are chill and it doesn't get too crowded. You do have a trail and small mountain to take a small adventure before or after the doggie park. Lastly, there's a park next to the dog park for the kids too.

The park overall has a slightly sketchy vibe, but with security and rangers present, it feels safe during the day. I won't be coming here at night. The picnic shelter, sandwiched between the pond and the road, seems to be inhabited by long-term park residents, resulting in food items and garbage scattered around, which can attract curious dogs on the way to the bark park. Despite these drawbacks, I still feel secure, and the view from the dog park area is exceptional! See.attached videos. One downside is the prevalence of uncollected dog waste, Overall, it's a solid park with two separate dog areas hillside. Great views!
