University Dog Park

Great park, Well-​maintained and clean. The people and dogs we met there were welcoming and friendly.

Adorable dog park with lots of friendly dogs and fellow dog owners. This park is very popular an hour or two before sunset, so check it out then with your favorite furry friend.

I have had my small dog for less than a month. I found this park which is very close to my home about 2 weeks ago. I go there almost daily. I actually love the park and how near it is to my home but for the last two days there were big dogs in the small dog park. Yesterday, the dog in there was extremely aggressive and came at us barking when we arrived. He scared my little dog who would not leave my side after that. It totally ruined our trip to the park. Today there was a dog being picked on in the big dog park so the owner brought her into the small dog area. She was sweet and did not intimidate my dog but still owners should have control of their dogs and abide by the rules of small dog/​large dog area. There is no one there to enforce the rules and nowhere to turn when they are violated. In my opinion if someone doesn’t stop this it will only get worse. I may go and drive further to find a much safer comfortable area for my little girl.

Great dog park for the Palm Desert. Dead grass and big. Most dogs are friendly and lots of balls to play with. However the entrance by the dog park smells like dog piss and that is a turn off. The city or who ever takes care of it needs to pressure wash it once in a while. Overall I will be back and I am a fan!

Good dog park. Plenty of space and they separate big dogs from small dogs. Plenty of water, poo bags, and tennis balls. Nice gazebo with benches for when it gets hot.

Nice day for the dog park… nice clean with grass. Restroom available for humans… bags supplies n scoopers too

One of the best dog parks we have ever visited. We call it «the club» and our dogs get so excited when they get to come here!!! It is a clean, well kept, pretty landscape for the decently sized area. Nice grass for the dogs. There is a large dog area and a small dog area. Water, waste bags, and tennis balls are provided. There are plenty of benches as well as a shades pavilion. There are even clean, well maintained restrooms for the humans. It gets busy in the late afternoon, so parking spaces can be limited.

I brought my chihuahua, Frida here and she loved it. We came right around 4 and it was pretty crowded but dogs came and left in waves. There was a lot of space for frida to run and I loved that there was a little dog section. My dog gets intimidated by big dogs and it was nice for her to still see them through the fence but not be worried about them getting to close. Lots of people bring balls but it looks like some are abandoned so don’t fret if you forget one. Overall it all looked very clean and taken care of. There were plenty of water fountains and bowls for the dogs, Complementary doggie bags, and access to pooper scoopers for larger messes. Attractively designed and well kept. Bottom line: great park, will come back, will recommend.

I love to take my older dog to play at the park, it is one of the best things for him and he loved it. We used to go every other day and then down to twice a week due to his age. The amenities and the brand new facilities are perfect for both dog and human alike

Such a nice dog park. It gets crowded in the early morning, so if you’re dog doesn’t like crowds you might want to wait until evening. But even when it’s crowded, you can usually find a quiet corner where they shy dogs hang out.
The other dog owners are friendly. It’s social hour for pets and humans here. My dog and I had a great time. We’ll be back often.

Great dog park. Lots of space for the dogs to run around. Nice people too.

This dog Park is the nicest dog park in the desert, no question about it, but it is still not my favorite. It is clean, bright, and the owners are usually responsible, and there is more than enough room for my speed demon of a dog to run, but the biggest problem with this park is that it is always windy in the part of town.

This is the desert’s newest, and in my opinion best dog park. Hidden in the middle of the desolate University Park development and just behind Gerald Ford Drive. Enter off Pacific and you can’t miss it as it’s the only thing out there.
The park is very clean and not littered with droppings and cigarette butts like I have seen at other area parks. There are areas for both big and small dogs, along with public restrooms. The owners seem to be a little more involved with there dogs than at other parks and everyone seems to have a good time.
There are only about 15 parking spaces, but plenty of street parking for now. Once things start to develop in the area, I hope they add additional parking.
