Partners Dog Park

I really like this dog park lots of shade and there's a big grassy area to work your dog outside the fence. I have good luck selling my dog cookies here and I enjoy the people so far

Pretty big fenced in park! Multiple hills within it to tire my dog out extra. The people that come here can be a little... disturbing & ready to yell at each other. But that might just be the demographic of the area? Not sure. There are 2 dog water fountains in the park too!

Over all, its a chill and fun dog park. Its our Fourth time here with my service puppy. She is very well trained, polite and social with dogs and cats and humans. Be aware that racists and jerks do feel entitled to use this public dog park but also expect whomever they dislike not to. This am my dog caught a TENNIS BALL of another dog and its human. I ran up on him witnessing him hitting my dog with his hands smacking her on both ears. He gestured a kick but missed her. I said WTf Is wrong with you, why are you trying to get killed?He says" well hey, its my ball, it MY BALL..." like ....Its a tennis ball. Shes a puppy Its a dog park.I told anyone coming near and in while we were still here not to let their dog near his if it likes balls, because only he and his dog can play with the sacred tennis ball. My dog is Brenda Bloom and she loves it here... Ill be bringing pepper spray with me. I got caught slipping. Im dumb for thinking it be chill early on a Sunday. Hate don't have a watch or calendar.

One of the best dog parks in Sacramento. Lots of grass, trees, shade and even a couple hills that west the dogs out. Only negative is the gate is locked until 9am and it closes at 5.

Love this park! It's so big and spacious. The main reason I love it is because most dog owners who go understand that dogs play rough. Dogs growl, bark, and nip when they play and if you have more than one dog or take your dog frequently to the dog park you should know this. This dog park is not for the weak. So if you feel that dogs growling/barking while playing is "attacking" this dog park isn't for you! I just had one woman with a labradoodle who thought she could tell me that my dog wasn't meant for the dog park because my dog was playing rough though her dog was playing back. Then another lady thought she can order me to put my dog on a leash...and yes, yes they were. My dogs go four times a week and have had no problems with other dogs because most people seem to understand dogs like to play rough. Just hate when new dog owners show up and don't understand this. This is also not a park for small dogs that cannot handle big dogs. There is no separate play area for smaller dogs so a small dog need to be tough or just enjoy playing with larger dogs. There is also no doggy bags available so you have to take your own. The dogs drink water out of buckets, I wish they would install a dog drinking fountain. Other than that, great park!

South Land Park brings back many memories of the many afternoons I spent at Belle Cooledge Library. Who knew that I would end up in the area as an adult, bringing my husky puppy to the dog park right across the street? I didn't even know it existed!Because there isn't much space for Oz to run around in my parents' backyard, I take him to Partner Park when I'm visiting home. I get nervous with dog parks because Oz has had some bad experiences, and he becomes anxious easily. Fortunately we came here twice, and we had positive interactions both times.The owners here are super sweet and understanding. They're not standoffish and instead laugh at how playful Oz tries to be with their older dogs. Oz is only 1.5 years old and still in training... so he can be a little embarrassing. He loves the vast amount of open space, though.A few tips as other Yelpers have said... push the gate REALLY hard to get it open. I thought it was locked for the longest time. There's water, pooper scoopers, and chairs for the hoomans. I saw mostly big dogs here since there isn't a separate section for small dogs, but I don't usually think about that because my dog is big.Anyways I'm glad there's now a go-to park for my trips back home to see my parents. Plenty of parking, and lots of dogs that Oz can make friends with, even super early in the morning. I'm surprised how many people come here. Must be the neighborhood favorite!

I had come here a little over a year ago or so for the first time and I had bad timing as it started to sprinkle as soon as we step foot in the park.Side note: The first iron gate to get into the park is a bit tough to open. I almost turned around thinking the gate was locked and park was closed. Prevent embarrassment and just push on it hard :)Anyway, after successfully making it in... I notice it was just me and my dog and another guy with his dog. I didn't feel comfortable being there... it could have just been the dark and gloomy feel contributing to it... and since my dog was just a little over a year old she was still pretty antsy and not a very good listener.The park is a huge off-leash dog park with hills and big trees. I was worried I could possibly lose sight of my dog. I didn't stay more than 10 minutes and decided from that point forward I would just drive a few extra miles to go to Robbie Lynn Park (which is smaller, but all flat and easier to keep an eye on your pup).After going to RL Park many times- my dog started to get a little defensive and get in scuttles (but only in response to certain dogs lashing out on her). After a few times of this and a break from dog parks all together, I decided it was time to switch things up again....she is almost 2 years old now. I brought her back to Partner park for a second, third, etc. time and she has had a blast with no scuttles whatsoever. She even listens and sticks near me. Well- short story long- I am so glad I gave Partner park a second chance....If you are a responsible dog owner with well-behaved dog(s)- come check it out :)

This dog park is one of the best parks in sacramento because it's so spacious and has shade. The only downside to this is there's this lady that drives a gray GMC suv. She had a white pit mix and never controls him. He is super aggressive so a lot of people like myself try to have our dogs stay away from him whenever they are there. She also loves to leave her dog in the park unsupervised and goes to sleep on her car. If you ever see the car just be advised that her dog is vicious. He always tries to bite my pup and the bitch does nothing about it.

I hesitate to give this place 5 starts because, selfishly, I don't want it to become over crowded. While bbsitting a few different dog packs this past month, I became a regular of the 7:30am crew. This park is 2 acres of hills, trees, long and short grasses, and a lil mud for good measure that is a dream for all dogs. There are poop receptacles perfectly spaced all along so there is NO EXCUSE for being irresponsible. If you're in a dog mood, use the easy scoopers to pick ups lil extra for someone else. I brought a golden retriever here (large) a terrier (mid size) and a golden toy poodle (small) and each had a wonderful time. All the other dogs were friendly and their owners attentive and formidable. There is lots of parking and benches too! PROS: diverse grounds; lots of space; well maintained; poop picker uppersCONS: I'm told it gets muddy during rainy season and they close it off; I can't vouch for anything but the 7:30am crew

I live close to this park but unfortunately can't go there because there is no separation of large and small dogs. My dog is a small-medium (25 lbs) and loves dogs of all sizes, but this park isn't safe -- it is so large that you can't always see where your dog is or get there quickly if something goes wrong. When we went inside, I saw a few smaller dogs but the vast majority are larger. Eventually a very large white pit bull focused on my dog. She seemed sweet enough (I don't mean to malign the breed, it's more relevant that it was a big dog), but if something happened I wouldn't have been able to stop it. Nearly every day I pass by the park, and I silently lament that they don't fence off one side for the smaller crowd.
