Your pets need to run, socialize and play. Thanks to community donations, partnerships and volunteers, you can enjoy an off-leash dog park with four fenced sections. Each play yard uniquely accommodates big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs and even human companions. There's an agility course, big tires for jumping, water, seating and shade. Bring your pups to explore our natural Oak Grove or practice on-leash manners strolling the many trails and paths that lead to the dog park, located in Penn Valley.
