Silver Lake Dog Park
Silver Lake Dog Park offers a spacious area with separate sections for small and large dogs, allowing off-leash play in a sandy terrain with limited grass. It features shaded picnic tables and a relaxing walking path around a reservoir. The park is wheelchair accessible and dog-friendly, but it lacks water fountains and has limited parking options. Visitors should be cautious with dog interactions as some aggressive behavior has been reported. Overall, it is a balanced space for dogs to enjoy, though some areas could be better maintained.
Reviews
This dog park was a dismal disappointment in every aspect. The sparse, unkempt grounds offered little more than dirt patches in the sunny areas, with scattered grass patches giving a forlorn impression. The only silver lining was the proximity of another dog park specifically for small dogs nearby.
The park’s infrastructure was in disarray, with the poster board area being messy and park signage either defaced with tags or covered in stickers. Shockingly, there was no provision for water, leaving pets and their owners without a basic necessity.
My dog was visibly disinterested and bored during our visit, a stark departure from his usual excitement. It was evident that he longed to leave, which is a rare occurrence as he typically enjoys outings. If you cherish your pet’s well-being and enjoyment, I strongly advise against bringing them here.
Parking was a nightmare, forcing me to park across a busy street in a residential area and navigate the traffic just to reach the lackluster park. In summary, this dog park is a place to avoid at all costs for both you and your furry companion.
I love this dog park because it’s bigger than some dog parks. It’s all sandy with very little grass so you will get dusty shoes. However, the shaded picnic table areas help keep you clear of that if needed. The people who attend are pretty chilled out and aren’t pedantic about their pets. Therefore, when it matters, things are dealt with; otherwise just let the dogs loose to have a good time and it ends up being very balanced place to tire your pet.
My dog was attacked by two very aggressive dogs here yesterday. The dogs had no leash and no muzzle and put my dog in the hospital. I went to grab water and she went over to say hi, the owners did not say anything about their dogs temperaments and one started growling and my dog immediately got scared and layed on her back and when I stepped in to pull her out, that’s when one of the dogs tried going for her face to attack and I had to sit on my dog and cover her face and defend her against both dogs with barely any help from the owners. They didn’t apologize or offer any help. Please keep your dog close to you and on leash just in case, I don’t know what would have happened if we would have been playing fetch or something and I was far away and couldn’t get to her as quickly with her being near those dogs
Great facility. Got a small/large dog area. You can also walk around the reservoir very relaxing. Just be alert lots of traffic always keep your dog on a leash
It is beautiful, amazing. Free and you are able to take big dogs and small dogs. They have separate areas for both. Your dog must have all their shots. Also if your dog is on her days don’t take her.
It was the first time taking ours, and she loved it. We took her the following day, and she loved it even more. They get to run without a leash. Just make sure to pick up after your dog when they do their business.
