Eucalyptus Park

This review is about the new dog park that opened yesterday (May 21, 2015). I love that it’s divided into two sections. One for small dogs and the other for big dogs. I wish most dog parks would do this. There is no way I’m taking my 6 lb Chihuhua into an enclosure with huge Pitbulls in it.
But, back to the new dog park, the areas are large with plenty of room for the dogs to run around in. My dog really enjoyed his time there. Thank you Chula Vista and thank you to the construction company that donated the labor to build this park.
That said, there are a few things that would make this dog park a 5 star park instead of only 4 stars. Some I think are just oversights or possibly they just didn’t get around to completing them before the dog park opened.
1. There are no signs indicating which area is for the small dogs and which is for the large dogs. Someone brought their large dog into the small dog area not realizing that there were two separate areas. Please, get some signs on the gates!
2. The area is covered with mulch. I wish it was grass but I can understand why they chose mulch considering the drought and water shortage. However, since the mulch is brown and dog poop is also brown, it’s very hard to spot the poop. Step carefully!
3. There is no place to sit down while your dog plays. I think for most people this might not be a problem. I have health problems that don’t allow me to stand for very long and I’m sure I’m not the only one, so having some benches scattered around would be nice.
4. Some kind of small shaded area would also be nice, not just for the dog owners but for the dogs themselves. It was a little hot when we were there and many dogs (and owners) were standing along the chain link fence of the tennis courts trying to stay in the one foot of shade provided by the fence.
5. Last, but not least, there were no trash cans or any kind of container to dispose of the dog poop. You just have to carry it around until you leave.
If they fix these small issues, the dog park would be 100 percent awesome.

Horrible experience no adult supervision for the kids who are too big to be playing on the playground…

Has all we need to play as a family. It has a nice place for baseball, basketball courts, a playground, and of course a few unsavory fellas. At first Xan was weary but he was stoked I made him play there. We had a great game of soccer and met Gilbert and his ducks on our way out. What a great day.
To be honest this is a great park. My dad used to call it piñata park because it was packed with people having birthday parties on the weekend with their colorful pinatas. I now see why. It is a great birthday spot. Rent the jumper, get the park permit that allows adult beverages and invite me to your damn party here! I will bring the piñata.
