The Bark Park

Great place to meet up with other pups and owners. Clean and friendly. Only issue is now that the weather has changed the city has not changed the sprinkler timers. It is still watering as much as in the high temp months. Not only is this a huge waste of water but it turns the park into a mud hole that is really troublesome and unnecessary Otherwise it's a great place to take the fur babies.

Great safe place to take my pups in substitute for a backyard, they love it and know it when we pull up where they are. Only wish they had lights for the time change.

my dog Lexi and her brother Champ have been going here since they were puppies. I've seen a handful of dog fights but never with blood. Both my dogs (especially my Mail Lexi) have gotten been through a board + train program. July 9th 2023, Lexi was MINDING HER BUSINESS looking at a squirrel when a German Shepard came up and brutally BIT HER. The lady ran away extremely fast that my husband wasn't able to catch her. We are stuck in debt now due to this. Description of lady: Caucasian female, 40's , athletic wear Vehicle: blacked out Ford SUV Due to the bill being over $1K we added a go fund me, anything is appreciated. Thank you.

This is an awesome dog park if you're looking for space for your fur baby to run around and have fun! I was shocked at how big the "large dogs" side was, it's sooooo spacious! The bread is well taken care of, they supply doggy-poop- bags, there's also a a water fountain to keep our fur babies hydrated. There are benches throughout the park. Also, I love how shaded this dog park is! We all know how hot it gets in Sac, so the shade really helps not only the puuups but it also helps us, dog parents ;) I would highly recommend this park to all future fur friends, hope to see ya there!

Before my wife & I met, we were/are avid dog owners & frequented several parks around the greater Sacramento area before making this our 'Home Dog Park'CONS:No matter how many years we've been coming here, dog owners' in the small fenced area are simply NOT that friendly and downright "clique"y. Plus, there's barely ANY seating in the small area so either stand or bring your own chair. NOT much shade overall. They have put in more trees, but it's a process of time and dogs peeing on the seedlings. There's also not a lot of seating in the big/small fenced areas. I'd like to see a pool for the dogs where they can play, soak, etc. have seen this at other parks and it seems so simple to have. Or perhaps a play fountain as well. There ARE some major holes around the landscape that can be scary for anyone' that's ever twisted an ankle. Be aware. Finally, I'd like to see some makeshift hills or toy platforms to jump on. This really is a great park, but it's kind of flat in terrain with not much more than a walk/run space. PROS:These could go on all day. The Bradshaw Animal Control is located in the same lot. Many owners have actually adopted from this location which makes it extra special. Parking can sometimes be full, but there's plenty of it. ALWAYS someone here. Any hour of the day, there's usually someone visiting with their pooch. Very fun and active for our furs. People have mentioned attacks, aggression, and irresponsible pet owners. **I want to address this by saying that in the nearly 3 years we have been coming here, I've witnessed a great amount of pet owners that not only socialize, but look out for each other & really speak up IF a dog is out of control. We care about each other's pets and have your back. I have actually been attacked by a dog at the Power Inn park (per example) and the owner was looking right @ me with my bloody hand as she begrudgingly exchanged info and had to have her dog quarantined. I've never once been bit here at Bradshaw. There's also a Facebook group to keep in touch and get to know your fellow fur baby families: "Friends of Bradshaw Dog Park"I can't emphasize enough that this is one of the top dog parks locally! If you simply take the time to talk with even just one person there, and keep your dog within boundaries of social behavior, POOP clean up, and proper etiquette..... it will be a pleasant experience & possibly make a few new friends!

I've been to this dog park a few times at different times and my pup had a great time running around. She's very active and the park is very spacious, both the small and large dog sections. It's kept pretty well. There's grass and some gravel dirt spaces on the sides. The reason I decided to give it 2 stars, is that I agree with some of the previous reviewers, there's a group of owners that are not friendly and there are little "cliques". They make it a point to make you feel uncomfortable and tell you to leave. If you have an active dog and are not part of the clique just stay away. Usually the hours they come are 8am and around 5pm. They should just put up a sign that this park is for handicaps. The people stand around and talk shit and the dogs are lethargic and lay around like mops. I was told I was going to get sued and my dog would be put down and that I should just put my dog on a leash and leave. SMH It's a shame because it is a nice park itself. But I'll pass on coming here again.

This is by far my favorite dog park to take my fur baby to! She's always super excited to come here!It's definitely her happy place.There is an area for small dogs, and big dogs, which is divided by a gate/fence, sometimes the big/small dogs like to chase each other through the fence...xDThe park is pretty clean, 90% of the people actually pick up their dog's shit....& thank you to those who pick up after other dogs as well.I love that both areas are filled with grass, so on days that it doesn't rain your pup doesn't get tooo dirty.Both dog owners and dogs are well behaved, but there's always gonna be a few that you have to watch out for. If you keep an eye on your fur baby you should be okay! Tip; teach your fur baby to come to you when you call them! Another cool thing is that there's an adoption center right next to it. I'm pretty sure they do vaccines and spay/neuter as well. But ya, come on by there's plenty of parking right next to the park all the time. I'm sure you'll have a great time with your fur baby!

The park is great and the dogs is great. Small dog love to pick a fight with large dog tho. They have seperate park for large and small dogs. But do you know what makes this park 2 star?The owners! They are nice, but lazy and disgusting people. They wont pick up their dog's poop. There's literally dog poop everywhere. I saw multiple dogs pooping and their owners just watched and went on. They didn't pick up their dog's poop. Its everywhere, middle and sides!

A great dog park love it many cute dogs that can play with your dog. Nice little area and will definitely come again.

Great interaction. Friendly pets. Like dog size park separations. Water area sometimes a little mud so bring towel for messy paws.
