Dogwood Acres Dog Park
Dogwood Acres Dog Park is a large, wheelchair accessible dog park featuring two separate fenced yards for small and large dogs. It operates 24/7 and requires a key fob for entry, which is a paid permit. The park is primarily natural with grass and trees but lacks additional amenities such as water fountains, indoor facilities, agility equipment, or covered shelters. Seating is minimal with only one spot available. The park allows dogs off leash within the fenced areas, but some visitors express dissatisfaction with the paid access system and limited amenities.

Like the sign says “Stupidest thing ever”. Someone else apparently agrees with me. Don’t know where that address is but I’m sure it isn’t too far. But if your traveling through and just want to let the doggies out for some exercise like me you have to find that address AND pay for a NULL permit/fob key to get in the dog area(unless someone will let you in I guess). I think it’s good for a year but still if you’re traveling through it doesn’t make any sense to pay NULL to exercise your doggy…even if you live here it’s ignorant. I have never been to a dog park where you had to pay.
I guess Sterling doesn’t like visitors/ travelers.
Terrible, not at all dog friendly!!! They have a big dog park, but you have to have a code to get access to the dog park.
You must have a key fob to enter. Open 24/7/365. Large. Has two separate yards, one for smaller dogs and a bigger one for larger ones. Only one place to sit.
There is not any amenities or anything else besides the grass and trees. They could do with added some dog friendly activities or play ground like equipment that I have seen at other dog parks.
Also, they do not have a water dispenser to give the dogs water.
Don’t forget they want people to pay for something that TAXES paid for…. you need a keyfob to open the fence door. However any able bodied individual can easily access it. 😉
Overall it’s a decent park!
Average park, nothing special. Blows my mind that there are no indoor facilities to socialize your dog. Also dog parks in the Western stated don’t make your register and pay a yearly fee for every single dog park in the state. Dog Parks should be included in our taxes like public parks. I lived in CA for almost 8 years and I’ve never once seen or experienced problems at any of the dogs parks I went to in AZ, CA, CO, Utah, Nevada, etc. Clearly it’s more about making money than providing a opportunity for people to socialize their dog
