Every dog I’ve seen plying there seemed to be having the time of their lives. Plenty of benches. Small play structures. There’s water and poop bags available. My kid loved it and he’s of the two legged variety. I saw elsewhere that someone posted a review saying it is only for CSUMB locals. Uh, there’s no guard on duty, sign in sheet, or electronic key. The other dogs won’t turn you in.

My first and last experience at this dog park. After 30 minutes there I had to pick 24 stickers off her. Against my better judgment, I did go back because a friend wanted to check it out. This time we found this sign on the fence, CSUMB residence only. We Live 10 miles away and are Monterey County residence, but not CSUMB residence. I called the number and was told no entrance residence only.

One of the best dog parks in the Salinas region. Small dedicated parking lot. Obstacle course, separate area for small dogs with seating and water bowls, gates are easy to navigate, tools for picking up after your pets, plus some kind folks have left toys for anyone to use. Some of the nicest people I've ever met at this park, so much so that I'll drive 30 mins each direction to get here, passing other local parks that have little infrastructure and few friendly faces to come to Schoonover with my Frenchie Taco.

My dogs love the sand here! I did get stung by a bumblebee over in the corner by the bleachers. I haven’t been to this park for a few years so I was delighted to see a water spigot had been installed. Nice people nice dogs. This is a lovely dog park.

Well set up with a small dog side and big dog side. Double gate entrance for safety. Hose bib for water. And it is big, probably over half an acre, lots of room to run. Field is mostly sand with some grassy areas. There is also shade in a number of places. It is close to marina so it is very rarely hot. Only problem is the entrance to the parking lot, it is very narrow and if you are not paying attention will scuff up your wheels. Lot is small as well and serves the kids play area too.
