Diamond Bar Bark Park

This dog park is overall a nice one. You have to come either early in the mornings or after 5pm if you want to meet other dogs, otherwise it’s usually empty. Nice gated separation from big and small dogs. Doggy drinking fountain and doggy bags are provided. Other owners seemed friendly and would openly talk to me about dog topics. My only complaint is the wood chips. I know some people prefer it but I really think my dog enjoys the grass much better. I think the wood chips make the dogs dirty too and they might need to be bathed afterwards. Other than that I really like this dog park.

Overall: clean, well kept. Good park to take your dog to run off some of their energy.
Pros:
–dogs play in fenced area.
–small dog park and big dog park are separate.
–dog bags are provided.
–decent size play area (been to bigger bark parks)
–people are pretty good about picking up after their pets.
Cons:
–regulars are cliquey, not very welcoming.
–some owners have no control over their pets.

I’ve been to several dog parks but Diamond Bars Dog Park is the Best! My dogs love it, we’ve made great friends that we see outside of the park. It’s become a awesome close community for the dogs and their owners. It’s huge to run and play, the city just planted trees for additional shade. Love our dog park.

Don’t know why there are such low ratings for this park. I have no complaints! Yeah the wood chips get stuck to my dogs hair but they’re easy to remove. Just brush em off. Sure it would have been nice if there was grass but it didn’t seem to bother me as much as others. The park was clean, spacious, and in a nice and safe area. They offer doggy bags. I came on a Thursday morning at 9am and it was just us in the small dog area, but there were a few ppl in the big dog area. My dog seemed to enjoy himself so I’ll be coming back!

This is the first dog park ive ever been to and I dont think id go anywhere else. Its quiet near the hills and a HUGE space for my huskies to run!
I read a lot of people don’t really care for the woodchips they have. Now to me this is way better than grass or dirt. They can run forever and I know that the loose woodchips aren’t bothering their joints.
They provide doggie bags! I mean always! The dispensers are never empty and everyone is respectful to clean up their pooches mess.
If your not a local to this neighborhood (I’m not) give it a few weeks to learn the locals scheduale and your doggies will have 10 times more fun with all the dogs that will come.
Overall I love this park. Its very clean, locals are friendly, and its nothing but a goos time when I visit.

Not a fan of this park. The park is just filled with wood chips. When you try to play catch with your pet and the ball happens to roll on the wood chips, just picture your dog eating someone else’s feces.

How are people giving a dog park 1 star? This location is CLEAN, SAFE, BRIGHT, near an elementary school… And did I mention safe? Yea there might be wood chips but it’s a very community oriented park with regular owners and dogs! Glad to have a dog park in the area!

Nice, clean, and spacious. The only thing missing here are dogs. This is only true on the small dog side of the park. I’ve been here a few times to find only a couple other dogs here to play with my pups.

*scratch scratch* *repeat*
My poor poodle did not have such a great time here. The place is filled with wood chips which kept attaching to her hair and bothered her. Even after wiping her off, I still find random wood chips in her hair. It’s like when you go to the beach and you leave with sand in all sorts of places you don’t want it to be.
Also this place looks like some type of prison… No shade. A couple of benches. And a whole lot of fencing.
I probably won’t be bringing my dog back here unless I know she’s due for a bath of hair trim right after.

Yep… this is what my life has come down too. Dog park reviews. Ever since I have a new furry friend in my life I’ve been spending more time at said dog parks.
This park is awesome for the fact there’s no grass. It is covered in wood chips, which is a great idea. Less mess and easy to clean up.
The surrounding gate is nice and high. Great! Because apparently my pup will jump over anything less than 6 feet. Lord help me. Love the fact there are benches with shade. It’s nice to relax and just watch your dog go ape shit with the other dogs.
Only downside in my opinion is the size. I’ve been to some much larger parks lately and when it gets packed it makes a huge difference when there’s more room to make moves.
Overall the park is nice and convenient if your a local resident.

Visited this dog park, and agreed with most of the reviewers here. It was a hot day, and my dog seemed mostly content to lie in the shade by my feet. It was a quiet day at the dog park, as there was only 1 other dog. A small patch of grass would be nice, but I’m okay with the wood chips. Liked the water dispenser for dogs. The park was clean and the people were cordial.
Would come here again to socialize my shelter-​adopted dog (she’s a bit shy around other dogs.)

I am definitely a regular here coming 3+ nights a week. I don’t know why I haven’t written a review for this place since I usually am pretty good about it. Anyway, this park is pretty good. I come here mainly since it is close to my house, but the people here are like a second family. Yes this park does have wood chips and not grass but hey, if you don’t like it then don’t come. I don’t know why people wrote such bad reviews only because this park has wood instead of grass. I’ve been to grass dog parks and yes, the scenery is nicer, but I’m busy socializing with the other dog owners that it doesn’t even matter to me. I’m here for my dog! Plus grass gets muddy real quickly. I do know that they plan on improving the dog parks soon, so I’m excited about that.

I visited this park while back in town for the Holidays visiting my parents. Although I did walk around Pantera couple times, unable to navigate using the poor signage, I was quite impressed with the cleanliness of the dog park. This was the first time I’ve been to any dog park with wood chips, and it was quite pleasant because there was no dirt or mud to clean off of my white dog. There weren’t too many dogs early in the morning but my dog had a blast playing fetch and running around eating wood chips.
Majority of the negative reviews seem like it’s coming from people who have «glamour» dogs, who want their dogs to play by themselves while the owner sits around to play on their phones. I do agree there wasn’t much shade but don’t expect it when you’re outdoors and the purpose is to have your dog exercise and socialize. If you expect the Ritz at a dog park, just stay home w your A/​C on, or better yet go to the Ritz.
A dog park is built as a service and a convenience to the community, it’s not to cater to everyone’s specific needs. If your dog is hot from the sun, just take them out and walk them over to a shaded area within the park, stop being so lazy. If your dog hates wood chips, just find a dog park that has grass. The wood chips are an ingenious idea, it saves the city money. Given CA’s in a drought, I applaud and commend the city of Diamond Bar for finding a way to provide a park for dogs, while being environmentally conscious. I was going to give this park 4 stars but just looking at all the negative reviews I decided to up it to 5.
Hahahaha.

This is one of my favorite dog parks as I’m a native Pomona/​Diamond Bar resident.
There are two areas, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. Both have adequate seating and shade. They each feature five benches and could easily sit 10 people. Two of those benches are under a canopy so you can get some shade.
The areas are also 100% filled with wood chips, no grass/​trees/​bushes, etc. I’d rather have this than grass since it’s easier to spot and clean up poop, it functions like a kitty litter.
One of the main reasons I give this park 4 stars is because of the pet owner community. Everyone treats you like family and we all look forward to hanging out with everyone and their dogs.
The place can get pretty packed from 4 PM until dark, usually when everyone gets off work.

Wood chips let you filter out messes (like cat litter). Grass tends to get… sticky when a lot of furry buns unleash upon it en masse. It’s not rocket science, folks.
One of my other fave parks in San Luis Obispo also uses wood chips. It’s fine.
Otherwise, there’s plenty of shade in the big dog side thanks to the oaks, but the ankle-​biter side is pretty exposed.

One of the worse dog parks in the area. City of Diamond bar’s wasteful spending of over $ 200,000 on a dog park has no shade, no trees, no grass.
It looks like a big hamster cage with wood chips inside.
there is seating for 4 ppl under and small awning in each small /​large dog area.
don’t even bother going if it’s summer time because you and your pet will be baking in the sun.
obviously the ppl that planned and work at the city has no idea what a dog park should look like and amenity to provide to dog owners
thumbs down!

Greatest dog park ever. Have been coming here ever since I got my first puppy Merlin. Yes I have a dog named Merlin, and yes he has magical powers. Ironically the park opened around the same time I got Merlin so he has pretty much grown up here. More importantly, everyone at the dog park has witnessed Merlin grown up.
Yes, the people. The main reason I keep coming back, and I cannot stress this enough but the people, the regulars. It’s like a big extended family. If you don’t believe me visit the facebook page one of the regulars created for the dog park (search Friends of Diamond Bar Dog Park on facebook). Not only are there tons of regulars, but they are ultra friendly/​talkative/​hilarious. I don’t come as often anymore because of work but I’ve gotten to know everyone on a name to name basis. Everyone has gotten to know me and my dogs (yes I eventually got a second one and yes her name is Leia). Everyone is very welcoming and they’d love to meet you and your dog!
Other positives about this wonderful park are drinking fountains inside the park itself, benches for you to sit on, and wood chips. Wood chips? Yep, makes picking up the doodoo very easy. Just grab a handful of wood chips and you’ve got the goods (try doing that on grass). To all the complaints about the wood chips, I have never had a problem. Plus, even after it rains you can still come out here cause it’s not muddy. Both of my dogs can be found running around in this park for HOURS with no problems. There are also 2 sides, a big dog side and a small dog side.
Occasionally there will be scuffles, but I mean that’s pretty much unavoidable. It’s just like us humans, have you ever had a disagreement with someone you met? The important thing is that everyone is supportive and altercations are handled or put out quickly. It’s also important to note that there is dog park decorum that everyone practices to keep this an enjoyable environment.
So please, leash up your dog, start up the car and come to the Diamond Bar Bark Park. You will feel right at home. Oh and they provide poop bags for ya, so score!
PS: Park is located all the way in the back next to the basketball courts.

When I first found out that they were opening a dog park in Diamond Bar I was so excited thinking about how close it is in comparison to all the other dog parks I’ve taking my babies to. Once I got there I was EXTREMELY disappointed.
1. No grass! The wood chips are so annoying and always get stuck in my poor babies’ fur.
2. Small! What I can’t comprehend is why they decided to make the small dog area bigger than the big dog area… Uhhh… whoever designed this park needs to rethink their career path.
3. The park is so dead looking. There are not many places to sit, and if there are then there is no shade!
Obviously this park is a fail. I was expecting more from you, Diamond Bar! Please fix so I don’t need to drive all the way to Fullerton for my babies!

The dog park is set in an affluent neighborhood and the entire park the dog park is in (Pantera Park) is very spacious and green. The dog park is spacious as well in both the small and large dog sections, but there’s no green to be seen here. They put wood chips instead. The wood chips aren’t too big of a deal, but I would prefer grass because it’s easier on the eyes and it doesn’t get stuck all over my dog’s coat. My dog likes to run, so he kicks the wood chips onto himself a lot.
I appreciate the dog fountains and the filled dog bag dispensers. I also like how the dog park is kind of isolated from the rest of the park, so it’s a bit more peaceful for the dog owners and the dogs. However, this place can be dead depending on the time you go and even when there are dogs, there tends to be few unless you stay quite a while. Some reviewers also pointed out that there isn’t much shade and I have to agree. I don’t think there are any dog toys lying around either.
Overall, decent dog park if you know the right time to go. It’s no fun taking a dog to a dog park and your dog is the only one there.

They reopened! Now with shade and extra benches. No more squatting at the edge of the fence under the trees!
I like this dog bark because they have a separate area for big dogs. Though, compared to the «little dogs» here… mine are super tiny. Fit through the fence tiny… but MOST dogs here are well behaved and most of the owners are too. Only seen two incidents where a dog had to go for attacking another one… :(
This place has no grass and is filled with wood chips. Good for dogs who like to dig dirt. Bad for long haired dogs because it gets stuck in them.
