Located at 1200 Casa Grande Rd, Rocky Memorial Dog Park is a popular off-leash dog park in Petaluma, California. This expansive space is perfect for pet owners looking for a large open area where dogs can run free, play, and socialize. With its relaxed, neighborly vibe, visitors consistently laud this park as one of the best places to meet other dog lovers and give canine companions a safe, open place to exercise.
Visitors enjoy the pet-friendly trails and the mellow path that circles the open field, offering plenty of room for both leisurely strolls and active play. Amenities include ample parking, a porta-potty (ADA accessible), convenient water pails for dogs, and trash bins to keep the area clean. While the park is not fully fenced and lacks significant shade, many appreciate the wide, unobstructed views and the local community that helps provide extra tennis balls and even poop bags. Please note, during certain times, sheep may be present for natural grass maintenance.

I love that there are no gates because they can sometimes make the doggos aggressive. This park has a huge play area, nice to walk around. No poop bags so bring your own although some locals leave extra which is nice. Also some people bring tennis balls- thank you dog toy 🧚♀️
One of the best dog parks around. Mellow path circling the open field. Lot of parking, 😔 no gate between parking and park.
The park is large, nice and open. I used to take my dog there every day and spent an hour and a half, met many people from different cities. They said it was the best park! Until the city decided to bring like a 100 sheep to “cut” the grass. Now it’s nothing but sheep shit. It’s gross! Great job city of Petaluma!
It’s a good dog park and you can let you dog run free. Nice guy filla pales of water for pupper friends. People seem cool and patient while training. Some hilarious dog come through from time to time. There is a porta-potty that’s ada and holy cow all the things are still inside but a part of me was sad it wasn’t completely tagged up : (that was a joke to clarify for all dem 🥔’s)
