Hagan Community Dog Park

Great dog park. Well set up with double entrance gates and small dog area adjacent to big dog area. Nice concrete path around perimeter so people can stay out of mud, etc. good agility area. Plenty of plastic poop bags. Dogs/​people we saw all were very well behaved and friendly.

This park is just OK. I went on a Sunday and there was only one other dog in the small dog side. The small dog side is very, very small, there is limited seating and there is no shade anywhere.

Oh I love this place! Took my husky puppy here during the summer and this place was great w their big trees for shade! There also was a kiddie pool for him to splash around in after running w all his new friends! We hung out in the big dog side and it was very well maintained. I didn’t have to worry about stepping in random droppings as I walked around. There are also around 20 or so chairs to sit in and plenty of shade for owners and dogs.
The medium dog side has less trees and is smaller, however the back side does still have two big trees for shade and plenty of room to run. There is also a kiddie pool in there.
The small dog side is more disappointing but honestly so are the «dogs» I have seen in there (lots of tutus and dog strollers). There are no trees on the small dog side and it’s much smaller than the rest.
The only complaint is I heard that the field in the back end, as well as the river, attracts snakes. Might need to keep a heads up for rattlesnakes but my dog mostly avoided the back end anyway bc it’s up over a hill

best park in the area; dog owners are wonderful (except for the occasional jerk); «kiddi» pool water gets filthy quickly though and has to be changed often unless you want your dog to go home with a case of Giardia. Lots of small dogs in the big dog park but it seems to be fine with most canines and their owners.

I created a Unilocal just to write this review to warn people/​get confirmation if this is an ongoing thing. Three days ago I took my dog to the park, and within the first five minutes a grey pitbull attacked my dog, at first all I cared about was getting my dog out of there, than I thought back about what happened I didn’t recall the owner of the dog that attacked my dog trying to help to get his dog off mine. I thought it was an accident but I am not sure anymore I didn’t get his information because he left right away. This man was wide built, he was with a woman they were both hispanic and they left in a black truck. This is the first time my dog has gotten into a fight at this park, normally he has a blast and gets to play for awhile. I could be jumping to conclusions I just wanted to make sure it has been documented.
If anything I described matches something that happened to your dog let me know so It won’t keep on happening to other dogs.

Some people don’t watch their dogs. Some people bring unaltered males, which has been known to cause fights. there are no poop bags available, so people don’t clean up after their dogs. And there is nowhere to dispose of poop bags.

I used to take my dog, Max, to this park a lot. Out of all the ones we’ve visited, he gets the most anxious when coming to this one, pacing around clumsily and whining in the car even before we’ve entered the actual park. It’s almost like he recognizes the streets, as well, because I can’t keep him still even though we’re still a few miles away. I have a theory that maybe his previous owner used to take him here before I adopted him from the shelter. Poor guy ~
Anyway, this park is huge. It took us a while the first time to spot the dog park. It’s divided into three parts: small, medium, large; convenient for you and your dogs. No strict rules, though. I always take my miniature poodle into the large fence. He enjoys it the most there; more space to run around.
One downside, however, is that it does get a bit muddy during the winter, with a lot of puddles and holes. I would recommend just not going after rainy days. Other dog parks, albeit smaller, would be okay because they manage to keep the turf even and grass maintained. Unfortunately, this park isn’t one of the best when it comes to that.
Any other summer day is perfect! I just wish I lived closer to the area. Fun dog park, nonetheless.

So much space, shade big trees, my dog was so happy and this makes my dog park look like jail

Been trying out a lot of dog parks for our new dog lately, but this is the best one yet! He had a ton of fun running around (and marking his territory everywhere…) but he seemed the most happy at this park than we’ve ever seen him at any other. I like the grassy hills and large fenced areas, and tons of shade and water! The cute swimming pools full of water are perfect. The only downfall was I did see a ton of dog poop everywhere I stepped :(but after all, it is a dog park…

Our dog Karl gives this Dog Park an easy 5 stars. He travels for work with us and he’s mentioned that this park is his favorite.

I’m giving the Hagan Community Dog Park two stars even though I generally like it because of the following SERIOUS WARNING to anyone using it. This park is regularly frequented by people with the kinds of personality disorders that push them to train their dogs (usually pit bulls) to be extremely aggressive. (not condemning the breed, just the LACK of breeding of their owners).
My sweet Cockapoo went running up to a couple of these dogs and was immediately mauled by three pit bulls. As I was pulling them off, I was bitten as well. The owners screamed that when pit bulls are in the dog park, no one else should use it.
It’s miscreants like these that give the breed its bad rap. They should exercise their attack dogs in a pit, like the name suggests. What’s next… a 4 year old child?

This is not my favorite dog park. The people who come are usually very nice, and most of them are responsible dog owners. The grounds are just okay. When we come here, our dog gets some activity, but not nearly the amount she does at other parks (our nearby favorites are Phoenix or Bradshaw). The worst part about this place is that you have to park relatively far away from the park, and I have NEVER been there when there HAVEN’T been kids doing and selling drugs in the parking lots and surround areas. If they are trying to hide it, they’re not good at it.

Been taking the pup here a few times a week for the last few months and we absolutely love it. Our pup gets so excited as soon as we pull into the park and one time actually jumped out of my car window. She’s made a lot of furry friends and all the humans are always very nice. I’ve also gotten some fantastic shots of the park… it’s so beautiful there no matter what season it happens to be!

When I went, It was my first time there. It was clean, the fences were nice with no holes, or anywhere my little Chihuahuas could get out. It was my new favorite place to take the girls to go play and run free.: -) I had never taken them to a dog park before, and I figured it would be a great idea to go play and interact with other doggys. HOWEVER, maybe it’s just MY lUCK, just wanted to say one of my Chihuahuas, she got an eye infection. I’m not really happy about it because we liked it SO much!!.She is vaccinated&everything. I know this stuff happens. — — — — — — — Some things Peeps should know about the dog parks though, is be careful because, some people bring their sick dogs, horny dogs, mean dogs, and lots of dogs get attacked at dog parks!!! Absolutley love that this dog park has three sized sections, but sometimes people even bring bigger dogs into the small enclosure so just keep an eye out on your dogs and you will have a GREAT time! :) Check it out for yourself! :)

Definitely one of the nicest dog parks that Stella (my greyhound) and I have visited. This is the one place she always looks forward to as it’s big enough for her to run in (almost).
The park has pros and cons:
Pros:
Nice and reasonably well maintained. Good shade for the dogs and owners. Easy to find and near the river if you want an extended walk.
There are separate areas for different sized dogs so Stella doesn’t have to worry if the little ones are dogs or snacks. She appreciates this.
Cons:
Most of the summer you have to pay to get in. But you can get a season pass which makes it highly affordable.
There are no poop bags. Really folks! If I’m paying for a park with direct fees and (most likely) city subsidies I want poop bags to keep the place sanitary.
Speaking of sanitary the watering area is poorly drained and so is often a muddy mess. This needs to have real drainage.
The crowd that hangs out here is pretty mellow. I’ve only had to remove Stella for safety sake once which is a lot better than our old park in Chico.
Stella gives it four paws too!

3 nice sized dog areas for large and small dogs. Clean and well kept. Two have nice shade but the small dog area is without mature trees. Plenty of chairs and buckets with tennis balls plus plastic bags to collect poop. Water faucets and kiddie pools for cooling off. The few folks I have met have been really nice and we make a visit a regular lunchtime routine. I bought a «pass» for $ 15 so as not to have to pay $ 4 per visit.

Hagan Dog Park is one of the best in the region. It’s a large area with plentiful shade adjacent to the American River and the similarly named American River Bike Trail. You can usually find other people and dogs in the afternoons and on the weekends. There are separate small dog and big dog enclosures.

I am starting to really like this dog park. It’s taken me a while to warm up to it since my dogs and I really loved the one in our old neighborhood, but I’m realizing that this one might actually be just as good.
It’s located in beautiful Hagan Park, which I love, despite the strange groups of people that sometimes congregate in the parking lots and play their music way loud. I always park in the outer parking lot because A.) it’s free! and B.) it’s really not a bad walk to the dog park from there.
There are three areas for different sized dogs, although only two are open at time. One of my dogs is about 30 pounds and is typically timid in groups of big dogs, so I tried the small dog area first, but didn’t even get past the entryway when one of the other ladies there basically told me to get out because my dog was too big. Fun! So I stomped over to the large dog area and luckily, I’ve never had any problems there since. The dogs are typically friendly and well-​behaved, and my dogs love running over the big hill and exploring stuff over there.
My only concern with this park is that there is a kid’s playground right next to the dog park, and I’ve seen random kids run into the dog park unattended and start messing with the dogs. Other than that, I’m pretty impressed!

Best park in the area!!!
If you are looking for a safe, large and fun dog park, this is it! People are friendly and
Respect the rules of the facility. It features three large play areas, for small, medium or large dogs. The large play area has a plastic small pool perfect for those warm days. Lots of trees throughout. Come and let the fun begin!

This new dog park opened in early 2010 and features enormous grassy lawns, drinking fountains and three separate areas to keep the big dogs segregated from the little dogs. One section is usually closed to allow it to rejuvenate while the other areas get tromped on by domestic pets. It’s proximity to the American River provides lots of other activities and you could easily find enjoyable activities here throughout the day.
Tips: beware of rattlesnakes in this area. These pesky reptiles like to sun bathe by the bike bath. A $ 20 dollar venom inoculation each year could save your pet. It saved mine.
