Fullerton Pooch Park

Our baby loved it he had such a blast and made new friends! Really nice dog parents as well & fetch balls everywhere that was a big plus for us since our Bear loves to play fetch. Also water bowls with a water pipe in the, shade other big plus.

Since my last visit the experience has greatly improved! There are definitely different ‘crowds’ that come throughout the day but I’ve figured out the best times to bring my big pup and he has the best time. Some people are super friendly and talkative while others are just there to do their own thing and it works out pretty well. Overall I think my dog and I have found our park!

The park itself is very nice. Lots of room for the pups to run and play! HOWEVER, today was not a good experience because of other foolish people bringing their unruly dogs! My dog is 75 pounds but a big softie. There were three other large unfixed male dogs that would not leave him alone for a second! They kept humping him, the owners would stop them for like 5 seconds and then they were right back at it! My boy is fixed and very sweet and social, but he was hiding between my legs because of those other dogs. It’s not the park’s fault, but be aware of other irresponsible owners and their dogs!

Big and clean. People usually pick up after their dogs. But the people that go here are A Holes. Rude. And they don’t discipline their dogs at all. They just sit on a bench staring at their phone.

I LOVE their hours! It is so convenient for people that work and can’t come when it’s still light out during the winter.
Pros:
–3 separated sections. One for large dogs, one for small dogs, and one other section that I am not quite sure what it is for but it connects to the large dog section. Maybe for dogs that are aggressive and their owners don’t want them around other dogs?
–Awesome hours! Whoooo 7 am — 8 pm, they have lights around the park so bringing your dog here at night isn’t an issue.
–Grass! Having grass especially during times of drought is so great. My dog loves to sniff around and she likes to play in the grass. It is partially grass, partially wood chips and partially dirt.
–Plenty of trees for shade and benches/​tables for the humans to sit on and watch their dogs.
–Large dog section is a pretty good size.
–Park provides poop bags and water for the dogs. The bowls they have do get a bit grimy but at least they provide water.
–Lots of fun obstacles, tires and boulders, for dogs to run around and play with.
Cons:
–Odd area by the railroad tracks.
–People have an aversion to picking up after their dogs, I would watch where you step especially in the wood chip area. People don’t always pick up after their dogs here.
I like coming here because of the pros I listed above. All the times I have been here the people have been very friendly and watchful of their dogs. My dog does not like overly aggressive dogs and has a tendency to growl when she feels threatened/​scared so obviously some other dogs might not take too well to that. The few times that she’s gotten into scuffles the owner of the other dog has been right there to pull their dog away. Maybe it’s because I go at odd times but I usually do not see a large crowd here which I guess is a good thing.
Solid dog park, I would recommend checking it out but people please pick up after your dogs!

I am beginning to think that the owners of the dogs are truly what shape your experience at dog parks. There were 2 dog owners today that were laughing while their dogs mounted one another. Are people really that stupid? When you get a pet, you’re responsible for reading up on behaviors. Because these dogs were mounting, it got other dogs riled up to include mine. 6 dogs including mine got into a brawl, my husband pulled my dog out, but all the other lazy asses sat on the benches and didn’t do anything to stop their dogs from mauling each other. No, they aren’t playing. The park itself is nice and is well kept. Water and poop bags provided. Too many benches for people to be lazy, lots of trees for shade.

This review is STRICTLY for the small dog park.
The big dogs look happy and playful over in the acres of greenery they have over there, but the small dog park is an entirely different story. It’s TINY compared to the big dog park and most of the ground is not green. It’s a mixture of grass and mud that is not conducive for my terrier to run around in.
We were excited to move into an apartment down the street so that our dog could come and interact/​socialize with the dogs here. However, barely anyone comes to small dog park. You’re lucky to see at most 3 or 4 other dogs, and usually 3 of them belong to the same owner!
If you want to go to a small dog park with plenty of dogs, you’re better off going to the one in Brea.

My two dogs love this park!!! It’s clean, spacious, has lots of shade, lots of benches and tables to sit at, bags to pick up your dog’s… «gifts», tennis balls, and bowls of water out for all the dogs to share.
Going there with my boyfriend and two dogs, everyone (mostly older people) seemed to know each other and each other’s dogs, and were very chatty and friendly. There’s a small dog park which I’ve never been in, but the large dog park is a great place to take your dogs.

It’s free, it’s clean! The only thing I don’t care for is separating big dogs and little dogs. People yell at you if you bring a small dog (20 lbs) into the big dog area. My dog seems to like it!

This review is for the people, not the dogs. I came here today and I remembered why I stopped coming. It’s the people who «run» the pooch park. They are the inbred retired or «leeches» off society that spend the entire day at the park being rude and «barking» orders at everyone. So unfriendly and unapproachable. I’ll drive 20 minutes longer to go to Brea. Not to mention all the homeless people that sleep next to the fence. One guy was so drunk he tried to drink water out of the dog bowl! I wouldn’t feel safe coming here alone at all. We’re never welcomed and no longer feel comfortable. What a shame because they just remodeled the park.

We just moved to Anaheim and we’re looking for a nice place for our one-​year old Frenchy to play. The small dog park was not well kept, and had primarily dirt (not too terrible, but not the greatest). To me, the downside of this place is the lack of clean water for your animals to drink when playing in the heat… There were only crusty/​dirty bowls there, which I didn’t feel safe letting my dog drink from (he’s had Giardia a couple times, and I refuse to let it happen again). And no doggie bags provided. They ran out while we were there, so it was a hassle to clean up without that.
Other people in the park were «ok» but not overly friendly. The other dogs weren’t very playful either. I definitely won’t be returning here. Not a terrible place, but just not the friendly dog parks were used to visiting.

Location: right next to the train tracks — ish. It can get pretty loud when there’s a train coming by, but the dogs don’t seem to be bothered by it. There’s a separation between large dogs and small dogs (above or below 25lbs). My dog is exactly 25 pounds so we kinda choose where we want to bring him hehe
Accomodations:
–Poop bags: accessible to the public, which is a major plus for me! People almost always pick up their dog’s poop when there’s free poop bags. One thing that i’d change is to put a lid on the trash can because first off, the trash can is in the shade, where everyone is standing, and without a lid and a lot of wind, the smell from the trashcan just blows in our direction.
–Water bowls: HUGE! they sit right next to a faucet where you can pour water for the dogs, or if you want, you can bring your own bowls and just pour the water for your dogs.
–Toys: good amount of fetch toys for the dogs to play with ranging from balls, ropes, and squeaky toys too.
–Benches: plenty of benches throughout the park and especially in the shade. Definitely a plus instead of just standing around for however long you’re going to be at the park.
Downside: there’s a lot of dirt and not much grass in the small dog park. Some people like this, but I’d like a little more grass, if possible.
TIP: some owners don’t watch their dogs so the dogs can get kinda frisky with each other or sometimes even angry with each other and it should be the owner’s responsibility to keep an eye on them. The park also gets pretty busy, so if your dog isn’t friendly, it’s best to go at odd hours.

I wasn’t impressed with this dog park. Very little grass and very little shade. I won’t be coming back here at all.

Disappointing day at the dog park. I have a mini dachshund so we only go to the small dog side which unfortunately isn’t as well taken care of as the large dog side.
My complaint about this dog park isn’t for the maintenance though, it’s about the other people that visit this park. There was a small group of people that were there to talk to each other, not to play with their dogs. I took my pup to a bench in the middle to play some catch but the other patrons dog were jumping on me and my dog, keeping us from enjoying our time there. I picked up our things and went to the far corner to be away from the other dogs but one small dog decided to follow. I tried to stop him from jumping on us and asked his owner for some help. He called to his dog, which didn’t listen, so he went back to his conversation, leaving his pup to continue jumping on us. Since these rude people had no care for how their dog was acting, we packed up all of our things and headed home. I played catch with him in our tiny backyard instead.
This park has potential, but with no enforcement of the park rules, I doubt I will be returning anytime soon.

I haven’t explored too many dog parks, but I liked this one!
There’s a designated small dog and big dog play area. Sometimes I like my little maltiepoo to play with the big dogs so he can’t punk on them and they put him in his place! lol but when I got here, there were a lot of pitbulls and excessive scary/​loud barking from the large dog pen so, maybe this was a good thing for little Ziggy.
All the dogs and people were very friendly except one older man who was smoking a cigar. After a while of watching the pooches play, we discovered his dog was the bully of the playground. Not surprised!
I will definitely be coming back! I hope he finds a good friend next time :)

This park is alright. Just make sure you’re always on you’re guard with your dog, other dogs and especially other people at pretty much any dog park. I’ve personally had some pretty interesting threats from people who had no authority behind give them and/​or no intent whatsoever to follow through with them. Because usually everything that comes out of an aggressive HUMAN’s mouth is BS. But 90% of the people who come to this park are really nice!
They have rules posted on the gate outside BOTH the small and the large dog side parks. You can be fined $ 100 – 500 if you break any of the rules, though I’ve yet to see anyone who has been fined. I have seen people who have had the cops called on them for certain things like ‘bringing your child there who is under 10′, because one of the rules is: NO CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS OLD. Some people take the rules way too seriously. Most of the people drama is on the LARGE DOG side, but most of the aggressive dogs are on the SMALL DOG side. So it’s pretty much your choice I suppose which one you want to deal with.
Breakdown:
LARGE DOG SIDE:
–Huge area!
–Lots of trees, space, water bowls, benches
–great, nice dogs (some aggressive, not
many anymore)
–Really dramatic people who don’t work there who will threaten to call animal control on you if you don’t have a collar on your dog, or try to police the park
–you bring a toy, EXPECT TO LOSE IT. Dogs don’t understand you bought it.
–the dogs jump up on you because they’re big… WTF DO YOU EXPECT?!?
SMALL DOG SIDE:
–Pretty good size, but not big.
–Definitely do not maintenance it like the large dog area.
— the water area is alright (kinda dirty), I suppose.
–the people are really nice!
–some dogs have the Napoleon complex (Think they own the world) and they are really aggressive/​attack each other and they bark, bark, bark all day
–then again, there is a rare dog or two that isn’t obese or aggressive and does play well with others.

I AM SO OVER THIS DOG PARK!!!
I used to LOVE this dog park but in the last few years the quality went down. I don’t want to sound rude, but has anyone noticed the number of homeless people that are sleeping right outside the dog park (near the small dog park)? I noticed that many of them have dogs and I have seen in multiple occasions these people coming in and dropping off their dogs and leaving! That makes me so upset because I don’t know if these dogs are up to date on their shots and I do not want to risk my dogs getting sick because of them. I won’t be coming back… hopefully the one in Brea is better.

Hidden gem located behind Hunt Library. Its not a big Dog Park like, say, Costa Mesa’s by the OC Fairground, nor as dangerous as Laguna’s. This little dog park has 3 main areas: 1 for the big dogs, 1 for the smaller dogs, and a 3^rd area for the dogs who can’t play well with the other kids, perhaps?
The parking area holds about 50 vehicles, but there’s also parking in the opposite side of the library.
Closed on Wednesdays, and they gladly accept donations.

I LOVE THIS PARK! I came here a couple times with my dogs and they absolutely loved it! I wish it was a little closer so I could take my dogs there more often.
They close on Wednesdays to clean the park and keep it clean. I love that they do that! I also love that the big dog area is pretty big and has a lot of grass! My backyard doesn’t have any grass so my doggies really enjoy playing on the grass when we come to this park. I like having grass and dirt over wood chips. The Diamond Bar dog park in my area has wood chips and I absolutely hate it. My dogs always come back with a bunch of wood chips stuck in their fur, especially my jindo with long fur. I end up spending an hour or so brushing the wood chips out.
The people I’ve met at this park are always so friendly! Some of the other parks I’ve been to had people who would get upset if my dogs got a little rough with their dog. Nothing crazy, just a lot of jumping around and the owners get terrified. I mean, it’s a dog park people and that’s how dogs play with each other! The people here seem to be more understanding of that and laid back which is always nice.

Happened to be in the area, so took my doggy here. My first impression of this park (on the small dog side) is that it can get rather muddy. Lots of dirt, not much grass, bad combo for my white dog. He’s a runner, so he gets a lot of that dirt on himself.
I met a few dog owners and they were friendly and watchful of their dogs, so no problems there. There’s actually a nice amount of shade around the benches too. Doggy fountains and waste bag dispensers are available, so that’s a plus for me. There are also toys for your dog to play with.
Overall, seems like a good dog park if you’re not worried about your dog getting too muddy on the paws.
