Discover Western Gateway Dog Park, a spacious and well-maintained dog park in Penn Valley, California, designed with your pup’s safety and fun in mind. This dog park stands out for its multiple fully fenced play areas, including dedicated spaces for small dogs, large dogs, and even agility and training sections. Locals love the park’s clean grassy fields, ample shade, fresh water stations, and accessibility off Penn Valley Dr. The park is conveniently located just behind a gas station rest stop, making it an ideal spot for road trippers traveling with dogs.
With features such as seating for owners, poop bag and waste stations, and agility equipment, Western Gateway Dog Park is perfect for daily play, dog-friendly meetups, or a relaxing stop during your journey. The nearby park areas also offer playgrounds, picnic spots under shade trees, and walking paths for the whole family. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Nevada County, this is a top pet-friendly destination for dogs and their owners.
Great place to take the dog, as there are 5 separate areas, including agility and training areas, and a few bigger play yards for the pups. It’s a small rural community, not all the dogs or people are friendly, but everyone has a show of respect. I was there around 4pm and it was pretty dead. It got fairly busy and alot more social around 6pm as I was leaving.
Best dog park ever!
A Fantastic Dog Park!
There’s a dedicated space for little dogs, which is great for keeping them safe, plus a separate area where all dogs can play together. Clean and well-maintained.
Best dog park I have seen yet. It has multiple different sectioned play areas, so you can separate small or reactive dogs easily even if it’s crowded. Plenty of shade, water, extra balls, and even agility equipment! I’m also super impressed about how clean and safe it seems to be. Our former dog park had basically become a homeless encampment. Love this new park! And so do my dogs!
Very well maintained park. Lots of friendly dogs and people. Nice to have several sections fenced separately. Fresh water, baggies, some basic agility equipment. Zouki enjoying the cool water spa on a hot summer day!
We drive over from Nevada City to visit this excellent park… (and to stop for a tasty lunch at one of the local food tucks. )
