South Hills Dog Park

I took our Cane Corso puppy here around 7:30 am because it was her first time going to a dog park and I didn’t want it to be very busy. No other dogs came while we were there, which was fine with me because it gave my beastly puppy a chance to sniff things out. It was very clean. It was muddy but the water fountain, but I don’t think I’ve ever been to a dog park that wasn’t. The small dog side was grass and the big dog side was dirt. I do prefer the dog parks with a little grass, but it’s not a big dog park. It is very nice and we will be back.

We enjoy bringing our dogs to this dog park. Our dogs always have a great time with the other dogs. Clean, Convenient, Friendly atmosphere & Close to home. P. S. There’s also a great hiking trail.

Let’s just remember before you read all the other reviews and somehow end up having high expectations for a damn dog park. Like all the other negative reviews.
This is a dog park located near a great hiking area and dalton wash.
Two sections: small dogs under 35 pounds
Large section: for the big dogs.
Dog area isn’t as huge as you think but my Molly had an awesome time.
We’ve been here a few times during the renovations last year. We always had a good time hanging with the smaller dogs
Usually it’s only me and Molly but today we had so many friends to play with.
No aggressive dogs so that’s a plus.
And lots of regulars
*if your dog doesn’t enjoy the dog park and hates it every time, fine remove all the stars from your review. BUT if he/​she is jumping, playing, and chasing other dogs then put your high human standards away and go have fun with them! Meet some of the regular dog owners, fun chats always.

I love the park I took my dog here for his first time ever at a dog park he had a blast. We ended up leaving earlier than we had planned when an uneducated dog owner showed up with equally unruly dog that didn’t respect or listen to the nab. But the knucklehead with high energy dog with no people /​dog skills didn’t detour us from coming back my advice when you come across a dog owner/​dog like we did is to just leave without a dog fight or a fist fight. If you see us here say hi Hank loves meeting new dogs and people!

Oh so small. So small. The big dog side is no bigger than the small dog side. If you have a small dog then yeah, this is the place to go. But I’ve got me a lab that likes to run after balls and frisbees. The big dog side is just not big enough for that. What’s worst is that the big dog side is so weirdly constructed. There’s a huge tree smack in the middle and it’s sunken in so it’s not a level area for the dogs to run. It’s definitely a place that would be flooded when it rains. Meh, I came, I saw, I’m over it.

I thought the City of Glendora would do me justice but no way. this Dog park location was pretty much my backyard. I might as well just kept my Mastiff’s at home than to drive 20 minutes to get to another backyard.
The spot is tiny, even though the park next to it was adorable and there seemed to be a bit of a hiking trail the spots for my dogs to roam around was just not worth it.
People with small dogs may find this place more worth it.

Super cute little dog park. I took my yorkie who likes people more than dogs and she had a good time. It has a little pet drinking fountain which is adorable. Pretty smelly though :\
It’s hard if you have kids and a dog. Unless you have multiple adults to watch everyone.

This place is nice and I like the fact that there is a hiking trail behind the park I can go up with my dog. Although the park is quite small, it is well maintained. If you have even a medium size high energy dog, don’t even think about taking your perfectly good pup into the «small dogs» area. I took my super excited border collie puppy when she was about 6 months because the large side was closed, the entire crowed of mini dog owners faces changed. Even though some of their dogs were barking none stop, they hated my girl. She went to jump up on a lady which was her thing just loving all humans more than dogs, she straight elbowed my dog to «protect» her little dog. We got out of there real quick. Segregation is real here so stay away from those owners that think their small dogs are human infants.

First time Loky and I checked out this dog park in comparison to our usual in West Covina.
Our thoughts: The dog park is located in a residential area and the dog park is separated into two fenced off boundaries for the small and large breeds. The small side size was good enough but the large side could use some upgrading. The décor of the park is nice with stencil cut outs of different type of dogs. Each side has a water fountain and benches for resting. So happens the day we visit at around 6pm the small dog side had abt 2 – 3 dogs (zzzzz loky was bored). Thankfully the large dog side flooded so everyone came in to join and it was a lovely time until an anal dog owner felt it was his right to loudly express himself and let one of the large dog owners that he wasn’t allowed into the park because his dog was not altered. I agree it’s stated in the rules on the fence BUT did he really need to go the full housewife duties and call the city police? Really? Was that really necessary? I’m surprised the cops actually showed up and you wonder why actual emergency calls are delayed?
Loky had a grand ol time when everyone joined in on the party but we will likely not be returning to this park. We will stick with our neighboring park and/​or beach.

Took my dog here just to see how it was from the reviews. The park was a little hidden to get to considering that you’d need to drive through neighborhoods. The park itself was pretty small and I came on a saturday evening with my little pom and there was only about 4 – 5 dogs which is nothing compared to the san dimas dog park (was at that park before coming to this one). I don’t like how the benches are positioned because the sun is dead onto your face when you’re sitting down during sunset. I assume dog parks are most populated when its around 4PM until the evening since thats when people are mostly free as well. Anyway a huge plus for this park having a doggy drinking fountain and I think its okay as well. I’ll probably just stick to the dog park at west covina since it seems nicer and a lot of dogs tend to be over there compared to this once minus random people coming in treating it like a petting zoo

The park is better in some ways than it was last year. There are not as many puddles and the big dog side has been open now for awhile. The worst part about this park is the gravel around it. It gets all over everything! Hate it! There are water fountains inside now on both sides. There is still very little shade on the little dog side.

This is a great dog park! The park is always well maintained and there is plenty of water for your dogs incase they work up a thirst. Tennis balls and sticks are always available for playing fetch or chewing. I find that the ‘big dog’ side is always fuller than the ‘small dog’ side, but that’s okay with me. More room for the little ones. The park is always emptier during the day, which can be nice. So far, everyone we’ve met has been very friendly.

Nice little park, and it’s so close to home!
They’ve always been open when I’ve gone, I haven’t seen anything about «park-​rationing» as described by others. Green, shade (though a lot more on the large side), benches, WATER, and easily accessible doggy bags. Everything is fenced off in a really nice rubberized chain-​link. I’ve never seen anyone else’s poop, so that’s a plus. All the owners I’ve come across have been great, very talkative and friendly. Same with their dogs, they have been very playful, even when we’ve been invited with the big dogs!

My neighbors mentioned this «new» dog park on Mauna Loa that is near our home and clean. I was pretty excited to check it out on the weekend. I showed up with the puppy brother in the early afternoon only find the dog park completely empty. The park is surrounded by a black chicken wire fence adorned with happy dog shadows all around it. The grass is still green, there is plenty of poopy bags there and there is a few shaded spots for the humans to hang out in. After a few minutes, two other dogs showed up. Maybe I went too early on the weekend for this or maybe not too many people know about it yet. The dog owners I met were nice and I had no trouble asking if they’re dogs were friendly enough to play with mine. There is also some hiking trails near by, be safe if you decide to do those and be prepared for dirt and bugs, and take some water with you.
The small/​medium dog side area is a bit on the small side. Just because we have smaller dogs doesn’t mean that our dogs don’t like to run the distance. There is only one/​two benches available for people to sit on. There was also some poop around the area. The large side area (which I went too after the little dog left) had a lot more shade than the small/​medium sized dog area. There is a HUGE tree there and lots of branches for dogs to pick up their sticks to play with. That area by the tree though seems to be a bit on the smelly side and big poops over there.
**Keep your eyes out as you walk, there tends to be a lot of poop left over from previous visits. People really should learn to pick up after their dogs*****
I would also recommend bringing your own water bowl. I wouldn’t like to be drinking from the same cup as other people, so why should my dog (yes, I probably sounds like I spoil my dog but I don’t want him to get sick.)

!!!Here is what you need to know!!!
LARGE DOG PARK AREA IS CURRENTLY CLOSED!!!
Only the SMALL DOG PARK AREA is OPEN.
Large Dogs are allowed on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Friday.
Sorry I didn’t check on the small dogs schedule, but I assume it would be all other days. Thursday seems to be the maintenance day.
So I took my dog here for the first time today.
I usually go to the West Covina dog park but thought to change it up a little.
We went there around 2pm. Early for doggie play time.
I read the reviews of this park. Thought I was prepared but I was wrong.
As I was notified by a VERY VERY RUDE LADY, that there is a schedule in place for which dogs gets to use the SMALL DOG PARK AREA on which day.
This 8 ½×11 piece of paper is tacked onto the fence on the side, easily missed.
She told me to get my dog immediately, I profusely apologized that its my first time, I didn’t see that note, that I was invited in by other owners earlier that it would be ok for my dog to play with with their little dogs. No one mentioned any posted schedule.
My dog is friendly medium size dog, she’s not aggressive, she’s just about a yr old.
Needless to say, I will NEVER go back to this dog park (Thanks alot rude old lady!).
Other owners I met, (there was a few) seemed very nice. Their dogs played nice as well.
No one seems to know why the large dog park area is closed.
It just says for maintenance. Supposedly to reopen at a later date.
Park is on the small side. Of all the other dog parks I’ve gone to, this one is even smaller than the one off of the 110 FWY near South Pas. its clean though. Full of grass and water fountain inside for the dogs. Lots of shade, which is nice.

Alright the San Dimas dog park is closed so I decided to check out this dog park. The dog park is located in a residential area. One of the first things I noticed was the drinking fountain was leaking and creating a huge muddy area close to the entrance. Yikes! Why isn’t this fixed yet? Negative star. Second, there was a group all sitting in a circle not watching their dogs and a few dogs were leaving landmines. With that said the people outside the circle were very friendly and responsible for their dogs. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and my dogs had fun.

Plus: Clean park, surrounded by great hiking trails, plenty of shady areas, nicely paved walk-​way surrounding the park, well mannered pooches, friendly dog owners, beautifully maintained grass, and good amount of benches for owners to sit.
Cons: Park size is a bit small esp. for the large dogs area, encountered some owners who don’t pick up their dogs’ poop (not the parks’ fault), muddy patches on some parts of the park, and water fountain is located outside the park.
Overall a pretty well-​designed and maintained dog park. I’ve taken my two dogs here several times and they always seemed to have a great time.

Some of these previous reviews crack me up. «Blasting music», «unaltered dogs,» and poodles that pick fights?
C’mon Unilocalers, you’re making this dog park sound like these shenanigans happen on a regular basis! Let me say that this IS NOT the norm for our local DP.
The South Hills dog park is generally quiet, filled with friendly/​respectful peeps, and fairly well-​behaved pooches.
It’s true, there are drawbacks to this DP. It’s very small and is often crowded. It can be muddy, and yes, sometimes you will encounter unruly pets (and their clueless owners) once in a while.
But overall, you can expect a pleasant experience when you visit our humble dog park.

I tried this place out for the it’s time on a Wednesday with my two chihuahuas. There weren’t any other small dogs there but there were two in the big dog area. It’s a decent size place. Really small park surrounding it but its nice and peaceful. My dogs enjoyed it. They got to roam around without me have to worry about any other dogs. There were plenty of doggie waste bags there when I went just in case u didn’t happen to bring your own. It was a little muddy in curtained shades areas, but I think that’s only because they water in the early mornings. Overall it’s a decent place and I will be back.

We stopped by to visit the new dog park. It’s off Mauna Loa Ave. hidden behind homes.
There is a large dog side, and a small dog side. Both sides are roughly about the same size, which for large dogs isn’t too big.
The small dog side was more crowded and had quite a bit of small dogs running around. There’s an umbrella that provides it with shade. The large dog side had about 5 dogs in it at any given time, and a bench under a tree. It’s about ¾ grass, and the last ¼ is mulch. The entire fence is lined with metal dog art, which was nice.
There’s a stand of doggy bags so you can pick up after your pup.
Water for the pups (and humans) is located outside of the park near the entrance.
Off to the side of the parks is a children’s playground with interactive wind chimes, which is cool.
Overall, it doesn’t provide a whole lot of space for dogs to run around (if your dog is a runner). The dogs are all well behaved. There were some owners of one dog that did not pick up after their dog, but did warn others that «a dog pooped over there, and their owners didn’t clean it.»
