🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Nestled in the heart of El Monte, Fletcher Fetch Park is a favorite destination for local dog owners seeking a clean, friendly, and accessible environment for their pets. This dog park boasts separate, securely fenced areas for both small (<35 lbs) and large dogs, making it a safe haven for every pup. Both zones feature real grass, a rare treat among SoCal dog parks, and agility equipment to keep energetic canines entertained. Water dispensers are available (though some may need maintenance), as well as pet waste stations stocked with bags and plenty of trash bins.
Fletcher Fetch Park is more than just a pet play space—it’s a true community hub. The park is well maintained and includes ample shade (though more could always be welcomed during El Monte’s hot summers). Amenities such as picnic tables, a playground, basketball courts, public restrooms, and barbecue grills make this park a stellar outing for families. Wheelchair accessibility is a highlight, ensuring everyone can enjoy the park’s offerings. Located conveniently within Fletcher Park and open seasonally with somewhat limited hours, it’s a top pick for dog lovers and families alike in the San Gabriel Valley.
The good, small dog area and big dogs, there’s bag for dog waste, grass is another plus. The bad water dispenser for big dogs needs work shoots water up. Additional shade would be welcomed.
LOVE this dog park but the hours are ridiculous. It’s only open from 12-5 on Saturday and not at all on Sunday. I was driving 30 minutes to go to it with my pug but I won’t be doing that from May-November when it’s too hot from 12-5. It’s such a shame that the hours are so restrictive because the two fenced in areas are lovely and even have some grass in them!
Nice park clean and well maintained. Has separate areas for small and large dogs and my kids had a blast
I really like this park because it’s easy to get to, it looks pretty new, and it’s clean. This park is divided into a large and small dog area with the cutoff being 35lbs.
My dog is 45lbs so I can only speak for the large dog area. It’s never too packed and there are obstacle courses, pet waste stations, and running water! 🙏
Great Local Dog Park! 🐶 🎾 ♥️
Stopped by on a Saturday morning while I was visiting the area over the holiday. The entrance is kind of sketchy but once you get through the tunnel, you see a playground, some basketball courts and the dog park. There was no one else at the dog park when we arrived but my dog still had a good time running around the large dog enclosure.
They have two separate sections for large and small dogs which is a huge plus. 👍 The large dog park was really clean and well kept so we will definitely be back when we are in the area next time. We did however have an issue with another dog attacking my dog but I wouldn’t take a star off for that. No harm, no foul.
Protip: keep an eye on your pup while you’re in the enclosure! 👀
