Roscoe Park

This park would be perfect BUT whoever maintains the park, city of Goodyear or private, does NOT maintain the grass. I try to take my dogs there and they come home with hundreds and hundreds… no exaggeration… of little prickers. It takes more time at home to get them off then we spend at the park. It’s awful I can’t take my dogs there for something so little. I need to find another one around here.

Two shaded areas, plush grass, clean park, trees. It’s a good park in my book.

I wish I had read the reviews before I took my daughter’s dog here for exercise. He is a medium size lab/​terrier mix who likes to run and catch his ball. He ignores other dogs and goes to a dog park every day at her home. I took the dog and our 3 year old grandson. We went to the ‘active’ side so the dog could run. There were two young women there with a husky pup and another dog. We went off to one side, far from the others.
We were there about 5 minutes. My grandson was standing on the side, playing with his truck when the two dogs ran over and jumped him. He screamed, I scooped him up and yelled to the women to please call their dogs. They stood looking at the scene and did nothing! Even after I got the baby up in my arms, the dogs continued to jump on me. Those two women never attempted to call their animals! I couldn’t believe it! We left, I will NEVER go back there and I encourage others not to go either. The city should lock the gates before they are faced with a lawsuit! I cannot believe people stand for this behavior.

Nice park. But people need to keep an eye on aggressive dogs. My 4 month old puppy was beat up by another dog this morning. 7-​7-​2012 We were the first ones out there this morning, around 5:15am We were just out there walking around, This lady and her grey/​and white dog. Was walking around. Then the dog came up to us for no reason, and jumped on my puppy just started beating him up. The owner didn’t even do nothing. The dog was almost killing my puppy. I yelled at the dog tried to stop him. Then he attacted me. Bit me very bad on left hand. The owner asked me where I was going I said west valley hospital. I was very scared. She said she would meet us @ the Hosiptal. I never saw her show up. Those kind of Aggressive or angry dogs shouldn’t be allowed out there. Yea go at your own risk. But people should
not let angry or aggressive dogs out there. The owner didn’t even say sorry or give me her name, nothing. Shame on her. And her aggressive dog. I hope she teaches that mean old dog some manners… Brenda Hansen… The Hosiptal visit was long. But west valley took special care of me. Thank you Hosiptal

First time there and it was a good experience, friendly people and large open space for dogs to run and play. Shaded areas and benches are provided which was nice. A restroom is very close, directly across parking lot.

Once again, I had to leave because some stupid people think it’s ok to bring aggressive dogs to the park. My dog was barely in the gate when the two dogs there attacked her. The couple who owned the dogs first just scolded the one dog then the man had to physically pull his dog off of mine. I left at that point but not before giving them an earfull. STOP TAKING UNSOCIAL, AGGRESSIVE DOGS HERE!!! I have a dog who is not good with other dogs so… guess what??? SHE STAYS HOME!!!

Can I review some of the people who go here? Because I know one idiot who would get 1 star. (But the park still gets a 5)
One dude let his dog pee on me! And the little bugger was fast! He’d prance toward you, and before you knew it, his leg was up and piss was streaming out of his winky cannon!
My friend was tinkled on multiple times; she wasn’t able to jump out of the way very quickly since she was pregnant. Did the man say anything? Only that his dog was only nervous. Are you kidding me?
Alright, I got your number. In return, we very actively encouraged our Australian Shepherd to play with the little terrier. Why? Because the Aussie Shep becomes a drool monster at the dog park, and the little pissing terrier (who only likes to pee on people, not trees or anywhere else in the park) ended up DRIPPING the Aussie Shep’s saliva. Sweet! (that was the only time we didn’t feel guilty about her saliva marking other dogs).
