Vista Meadows Dog Park

Interesting park. Seems to be in a nice area,but once you find the dog park it's a ghost town. Ip in the back towards your left is a big open dog park. For some reason there were no dogs and my dog didn't even want a run a lap,but he did.

Awesome!!!!No restrictions for my guys... there is water. People around are super sweet to the dogs.This is my new place to bring my little ones.

Don't let the pictures fool you, there is no grass in the enclosed dog park area. The fenced dog area is on top of a little hill and is a pretty big area. I have a chuck-it for my dog and I can throw it all the way to the other end. It is on a hill, so keep that in mind, but for me and my dog, the hill is perfect because it tires him out faster and he can build those "thigh muscles". All of the grass pictures for this location are right outside of the fenced dog area, which I do see people with their off-leash dogs. For me, I would rather go in the actual dog area so I can be as worry free as possible. You'll find poop left from irresponsible owners, but that seems to be the case in the tri-valley area. There is a bucket under a water faucet, but other than that, there is no actual dog fountain.

Wow..okay so the pictures on this yelp profile is highly misleading. You have to click INTO the pictures to see that the doggy area is actually only a small portion of the map and fenced off..AND it is NOT DIVIDED by dog size.Completely lumped together..people here have GIANT dogs and if you go on a day where the husky looking dogs are there, do NOT bring your little 13lb dog into the enclosed area.My little pup was so terrified when he saw the dogs running around in the enclosed area and bolted back to the car.Yes, I drove an hour to get to this highly rated park..and I was leaving within 15 minutes of arriving.Plus 1 star for the man with the 2 terriers who was exceptionally friendly and showed me around the area. Plus 1 more star for the green green grass that would've been fun to play in..

My dog was attacked by a pit pull in this dog park. It was about 2-3pm on a weekend. I was so happy when I saw there was a dog and a teenager in the park (this is usually low traffic, sometimes I don't see any dog here at all). When we just got in, the dog ran right at my dog, and the kid shouted out "she's not friendly with dogs". But it was too late. The pit pull already got my dog and she tried to snap my dog any part she could grab. Long story short. Luckily we did manage to escape. We later found out the teenager was a dog walker. She let the dog in the park because nobody was there.

Comparing this to Los Angeles dog parks, this is EASILY 5 stars. If I had a small dog, it would be 4 because there's no area for them, but for medium and large, this place is lush and great. Lots of grass, shaded areas and it is on a hill, which makes for a very tired dog in a short amount of time. Sometime there are muddy spots, but my dog LOVED it here because of all the grass. It's just a great place in a nestled little park. A park that I used to go ice blocking on in high school. Oh the memories. People are nice. And sometimes, in the middle of the day, it's totally empty and you can run around like crazy with your pup. Just don't drink out of the water fountain like them.*** Quick note, a lot of people do not pick up the poop, but it seems the park is cleaned so much that it's hardly a nuisance.

I love this dog park!The view in the afternoon is spectacular! Often when the weather is nice I see couples and families sitting at the top of the hill enjoying the sunset. *sigh*The people are so friendly that come to this park and the dogs are great too. This is the best dog park in Livermore!Ok, so here's how you get there....Off of North Livermore headed towards the 580, make a right and then a left on Cromwell. Make a right on Westminster and a left on Lambeth and park. You will see a play ground and a path/road that service vehicles use. It's paved, so either walk the path all the way up or hike up and over the hill. The hill isn't that big and your dog(s) will love it. Parking is the only thing that's lacking in this area. It's all street and it's all on a pretty steep hill. Sometimes if you come later in the evening like I do, you may need to wear something to kill the wind chill and some bug spray. Enjoy!

Tina said it was unfriendly, Lynsey T. said it was friendly. I just went todayand will report to everyone that it is friendly. Of course you get back what you put out. Thanks Lynsey T. for the directions to the park, I had trouble finding it at first. It's a great little park and compared to most dog parks this one rates 5 stars.

Like several of the Livermore dog parks there are holes at the bottom of the fencing. So, the dogs can get out. It is odd that there is a chicken coop that shared the fence line. I sure wish they maintained this beautiful space.

Lots of grass and a few trees! Previous reviews from years ago said there's no grass but it is covered in grass now! I love that the park is on a hill so the dogs got lots of exercise. I threw the ball down the hill and they would run and bring it back up! Amazing to get their energy out. There's no official dog water fountain but there is a hose with a bucket, I attached a photo. I was happy there was other friendly dogs here when I went.
