Reviews
I went to this dog park thru the trail and I didn’t even know about it and when I went to the dog park I was surprised about the park and I would recommend this place for dog owners like me.
After moving from Oceanside area to Forest Hills, I realize turf is better than dirt. Watering areas get extremely muddy and the toys/tennis balls get gross. However, it’s a decent size and my dog still loves it. Walk your dog around before letting them in your car because they will tread dirt.
Wonderful place to pass your time or exercise.. Long way walk.. Soothing environment
While spacious, the small dog area has absolutely no shady area for dogs or their humans. The large dog area is quite roomy and shady. The play area on both sides is dirt and the slightest breeze blows the dirt dust around. There is a water hose but no fountain as in many other dog runs I’ve been to. If you come by car there doesn’t seem to be any parking area nearby except on street which is strange for such a large park.
Friendly dog parents. Grass near gate needs to be cut to prevent dogs from eating. Easy access to playground sprinkler to cool off quickly
