Dogwood Gated Community Dog Park
Dogwood Gated Community Dog Park is a private, gated community dog park located within the Aliento neighborhood. It features separate areas for both small and large dogs, making it suitable for different sized pets. The park is wheelchair accessible and good for kids, though it is primarily for residents. The park is well fenced, clean, and has a ground of packed fine sand with no grass or running water. There is no shade or water fountains, minimal seating with some boulders to sit on, and no bathrooms. Parking is available nearby but primarily for residents. The park tends to be quiet and is not heavily used by residents. It is near hiking trails and a park area.
Reviews
Small and large dog lots. Beautiful area. Nice people. Near park and hiking trails. There is no grass in the dog park, which is actually good since fleas love grass. It’s a nice area for the pups to run and chase balls and frisbees. We will be back!
It is a dog park in a gated community. We visited it while with a friend who lives in the 55+ grouping. It is well fenced and clean. There is no water or bathrooms since it is intended for local residents only. It’s on the smaller side, but that makes sense for this place. There is a separate area for small dogs. Only met two other dog parents while there. High grade packed fine sand. No grass. Minimal shade.
Very spacious and clean. You need to bring a ton of water because there is no shade. Bring some toys because there won’t be any other dogs there most of time.
It’s small, no running water, only boulders to sit on. The gates break easily it’s not well taken care of. The trash rarely is disposed of plus no clean bags pretty often. Residents rarely use it lol. You can mark this place off your list.
It’s a fine spot IF you live in the gated Aliento Neighborhood. It’s a private dog park. Does have sections for both large and small dogs but if you’re not a resident it isn’t for you. You can get to it on foot if you park at the Arbaleda Trailhead at the corner of Via Princessa and Marsha McLean Parkway but with all the public dog parks available in the SCV I wouldn’t recommend the trouble. Leave for the residents and their dogs. I’m sure they pay a premium in HOA dues for the privilege.
